Miscount

What appears to be one of Adam's basses is listed on Reverb - but the description calls it a 5-string.

I do need new glasses, but I don't think it's so urgent that 5 would look like 4......

You don't see 5-strings in that photo.  Oh my!  :o 


It seems like Reverb has a habit of adding or substracting strings and confusing Alembic models (or spelling Rogue as Rouge).  I'm assuming someone there is cutting and pasting descriptions and doesn't really care whether its got 4,5 or 6 strings.  "It's got strings on it. What more do you need to know!"

Reverb is a lot like Mos Eisley Spaceport anymore... a hive of scam and villainy.


I may have part of that wrong...


Anyone who is interested in Batbass, it belongs to a Club Member here, OJ Dorson... they'd probably as soon deal directly.

Which is not, of course, to say that six does not sometimes turn out to be nine.....
