From what I've gotten over the years the price has almost nothing to do with the tone or the feel of the guitar. It's mostly quality of life stuff. How well it holds tuning, how long the materials will last, defects, etc. $500-$1000 seems to be the sweet spot.

Unrelated, but you are one of the best teachers on youtube. Seriously, ive seen them all by now 😂 Very technically sound and great musicianship! Rarely do you see both in one. Many are either great players who can’t explain, or great at explaining but their playing isn’t as tight - so they overcomplicate with theory rather than practice. Anyway, I’m sure 52 week player is a great value, but some of us already have enough skill (or resourcefulness) that we don’t really feel it’s worth it. I suggest you make a few patreon tiers for those of us fall in that category. Maybe an extra vid / lesson a week, tabs on screen. Nothing too crazy ✌️

I walked away with the Godin Session HT matt black. Love it.

My last bass guitar I bought like this. I knew what I had in my toolbox at home, but I needed something to augment it with, so I told the clerk to start handing me basses. Then I did what you did and played them (eyes shut to prevent oogly-bias) to see what I needed, and I'm glad it wasn't a 20 grand bass that liked the most. It's too easy to fall in love or get repulsed by color, shape and brand. Try it out some time, people!
