Learn to set up and repair your own instruments - and buy with caution

Learn to fully set up and repair your own basses. Most instruments can be hugely improved with some skilled adjustments and a few relatively simple repairs. Just because a bass is cheap don't necessarily mean it's "bad", and just because it's expensive with a known name on it don't ensure that it's "good". Value and quality needs to be carefully considered. The current climate of global economy has created a difficult time for logical and satisfied buying. Use care in your buying decisions of imported Asain factory basses. Do research and ask a lot of questions about the specific details of the quality control done prior to your bass arriving to you. Spend wisely, and demand satisfaction, you have that right, especially with what people are selling new instruments for these days. Don't get screwed.
