Beautiful basses, by the way.

ah thanks for the help.

How do the concert basses play? because the CMG concert bass is like £500+ overhere...are they worth it?

AFAIK, Dave played neckthrough USA Concert basses, not the bolt-on imports, and I doubt seriously he used the CMG, though that is the closest you'll get to an early-mid 90s Concert Pro (which were and still are great basses).

Only thing, the CMG appears to be a full-size Precision-style body, whereas the Concert bass was a Dinky-size bass body.

I have an orange sunburst CMG that I have had for a few years. It is older, but not sure if it is pre-Fender or not. It is MIJ for sure. I dont know where the newer ones are made. I know they were really scarce for a couple of years. Mine plays really great. I have a good tech, and he set it up so it plays like butter. The neck is not as fat as a P, but not thin like a Jazz either. Somewhere in the middle. I love mine.
