I had a Peavey fretless bass that I thought was really good... until I played a really good fretless bass. All of a sudden, the Peavey was awful. I've been playing an Alembic for the last twenty years or so and can't really call the Peavey a "very high quality product," unless that's different than a "very high quality bass." I guess I can see the distinction.. not arguing with you at all, just trying to get usage of the words in the industry correct.
Another example.. I was a terrible trumpet player throughout HS, playing whatever junky beat up horns I could get my hands on. Then, I bought an intermediate horn that was all the rage when it came out.. the King 601, which was supposedly based off the Benge trumpet. That horn felt GREAT to me. Fast forward a decade or two, and a Burbank Benge, Mt. Vernon Bach, and Martin Committee later (sorry... pardon the trumpet geeking out... any other players here?), the King 601 felt like what it really was.. a cut above entry student horns, but not that great. I sold it. These day, the Benge gets most of my time. Again, I wouldn't call the King 601 a high quality trumpet; you won't see any pros playing it on gigs or at home... but a I guess you could call it a high quality product for its intended niche in the market.
