    The finesse funker shows the wide variety of sounds she can get with just five pedals and a wah that never goes off.
    Reverb addict Mark Speer and badass bassist Laura Lee met with Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger before their ultra-hip, sold-out show at Nashville’s Basement East. Speer and Lee took the crew through their non-conventional approach to nuevo-vintage tones.

    I love the fact that she uses an SX. I've had one exactly the same. I've had a bunch of vintage and recent Fenders afterwards, and this SX sounded much better than a lot of them. It was a cheap bass by all means, but the sound was amazing. So I love it that she just sticks with this, while she probably could have about any bass she wants.

    Wow. I still have the parts to an SX guitar that was only $100 ~12 years ago. I bought two and kept the better one. The wood in those guitars could be really crappy, but a good one sounds like any good Fender. The saddles where chrome-plated bass, but it sounded very good and the frets just needed some polishing. The stock Ceramic pickups were even good. The hardware was a bit flimsy, and it has those cheap pots. Upgrading everything would make it pretty nice, but I've invested in guitar parts with better quality woods, and Stainless frets for longevity.
