Broken-in..
Hey, here's a good rule of thumb to go by and maybe help in ones patience regarding 'good things come to those who wait'.
If the Bass is not older than you, it probably is not yet broken in yet or fully settled! Bob B. and Paul W. excluded..lol
Arnie, Jeff and myself, on the fence there..
A Bass starts to mature after about 50 years old if it has been played regularly. That's why we see these old German Shop Basses like Juzeks, Wilfers, Morelli's etc that sound so good for what they are. They are finally broken in.. or, is that broken up?
Fine line there between the broken thing I just mentioned but as long as the Bass is in good repair and setup well for your style of playing, past condition is of little concern.
