2-3 years ago I picked up an acoustic bass. I figured now that I could play bass a little I would get something so that I could go out and play with people. So I got it, played it for a few weeks to get the feel of it and set it on a stand, ready to go jam.... and never played it again. Turns out I like dont like going out, and people are not very high up on the list either. Since I had been getting the urge to try guitar again i took it up to guitar center. Got a fair price for it, plus it was enough to cover a nice little starter guitar... doesnt exactly match my bass but I like the look of it. and yes the stickers and plastic coating are still on it
