Members Renfield Posted January 5, 2009 Members Share Posted January 5, 2009 damn, even the pics on highlands website don't look half as good as the real thing. ask renfield he's seen them in person I've played that bass, heck, they didn't bring many in, I may have played that exact one for all I know. And yes, it's a great bass. I've been coveting it for the last few years at the tradeshow. Sadly, my contact to buy it direct for cost is now a coworker, so that deal is gone, he works with us now, not them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rowka Posted January 5, 2009 Members Share Posted January 5, 2009 It's got a Dean, Michael Kelly, Traben kinda feel to it. I wouldn't be surprised if they came from the same factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poomwah Posted January 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2009 what is cost on those? I'm wondering what the mark up was. I was really impressed that ours only cost 600 its WELL worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small company, privately owned, to quit is to betray the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poomwah Posted January 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2009 dude, nice steal on the iceman. thanks zbass :] I told the pawn shop it was going to need some neck work. So they dropped the price. 1/4 turn on the truss rod and it was good to go :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zbasstringer Posted January 5, 2009 Members Share Posted January 5, 2009 Dude I did that at my guitarcenter. I said look my cell phone fits under the string action. So the price was dropped, and I went home and adjusted the truss rod. After a week, it was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
