In today’s episode, we’re going to highlight the pros and cons, so that you can decide which you prefer – or maybe you should have one of each! 

In this Episode you're going to learn:

  • Why do most people start out with a bolt-on bass?
  • Why neck-through basses are more expensive.
  • The neck join that was popularised by Leo Fender.
  • Where Fodera’s deluxe (dovetail) option came from.
