I feel like everyone is taking Fenders endorsers, warwick took Bailey, esp Bello, and I cant remember but there was somebody.
Stu Hamm was also taken from Fender. It was Washburn, I believe.
Finally a bass I can afford! Ha!
I love my fb 204. It has the low end I need and clear highs too. Well worth the $399.00
