Starforce Bass Survives Torrential Downpour Of Rain And Beer Cans In Costa Rica

November 20, 2008
Starforce Bass Roberto Wesson

Think it's hard to take care of your instruments in a busy recording studio or kid-filled home setting? Try the jungle. Roberto Wesson is a musician who spends a lot of his time in the Monteverde cloud forest of Costa Rica, a high altitude and high-humidity spot where he's had to develop his own system for moister abatement.

It must be paying off: he's still slinging an beatup Starforce Bass that's got to be at least 20 years old, and the thing still plays like a dream, even if it looks a little worse for the wear.
