today, I went to an instrument trade show, hoping to find some interesting basses, I found 4, but only tried 2. The 2 that I tried were both really nice, they were both GFX basses, one was 4 string, a really light bass, easy to play, and had a natural finish, apperently was sold for about 340 dollars Canadian which is really cheap for a nice bass. The other one was a 5 string, mahogany body. rosewood fretboard, natural finish, and also played well, but was a bit confusing, because I've never played a 5 string before, and cost about 1000 dollars Canadian, and for some reason my dad said he would rather buy me the 5 string, and spend more money, so I am probably going get this for my birthday, the only problem is that the store where we were told to get it has never even heard of this model, and it wasn't in their catalogue. But I am going to get a discount because I was reffered to them from the salesman at the trade show who sold the guitars/basses to that store. So, to give this thread a point, has anybody else played a GFX bass, what did you think, and do they have a website, because I can't seem to find it.

Thanks.

Sounds like a bass that you play in the shop and it's all good, so you order one, then when it's delivered you open it up and the neck falls off and the pickups explode, and the swarm of foreign mosquitoes living in the electronics cavity escapes, spreading an untreatable blood-borne virus that turns people into zombies all through your home town, so that your home town has to be quarantined by the army who eventually decide that the only way to destroy the virus is to firebomb the town to oblivion.

Or not.

I can't even find their website. I was hoping someone here had it.
