NGD - Mapleglo 620!

Post by Dokterrock »

Ever since cestlamort put up his black 620 for sale a few months ago I have been GASing hard for one of these. Played as many different models I could get my hands on and the 620 was the winner. Musician's Friend had it used in mint condition plus a deal on used gear last weekend, so I got a pretty nice price for it.

Set up was pretty alright out of the box. Neck could use a little bit of straightening on the treble side and just the high e string needs to be intonated just a touch.

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Just put it through its paces tonight at rehearsal... hoo boy. I think she's a keeper, y'all. Stayed in tune all night and sounded really nice and focused - just what I need to compensate for my sloppy fingers.

Somewhat under-rated and lots of fun and really quite attractive. 620s are real bargains. Congrats. 8)
