The end of Wishbass

Post by AzWhoFan »

Sadly, his shop burned down to the ground last night.
Not my most favorite bass in the world by any means, but this kind of thing should never happen to anyone.

That sucks!
I have never been impressed with Wishbass but that is truly sad news.
I hope no one was hurt and that he can get back on his feet once everything gets sorted out.

Terrible news. My initial thought was, "arson?" I'm sorry to say, but he had no insurance???
