NEW GEAR!! Buying anything?

[rayc]

Did you trade in your old bass?

[Greg_L]

Congrats! Great looking Bass!

That looks awesome. Have fun with it!

Man that thing looks nice! I love those fret markers and black binding too!

Thanks fellas.

Did you trade in your old bass?

Nope, still got it. Now I got two basses which is one too many. But I'm keeping it.

[WhiskeyJack]

Oh here it is. I found the memo. that is a nice rig man. Love it.

Thanks, it's pretty cool. I might start taking bass more seriously I doubt it though.

[musicturtle]

Nice!

[WhiskeyJack]

Got this stupid thing today....





Fender PJ with a Jazz neck. Check out that black binding. Very fancy.

didn't really get a chance to comment last night as i was totally over sitting in front of a computer for that long yesterday.

I think you did really well with this purchase. And had i know this was a thing back when i shelled out for my P-Bass i would have 100% gone with this. I was able to take home a p and J bass to demo before buying and and much like yourself i really preferred how the J felt, played, looked, etc, over the p bass but it just didn't put out like the P bass did for the sound i wanted. So i ended up getting the p and having it modded with the jack to out put thru the side and not the front.

I should have researched a little harder and got one of these. It only makes logical sense to get way more with way less. You made an awesome purchase dude. And on top of all that aesthetically it's a solid 10 out of 10.

Thanks man. These things are a Guitar Center/Musicians Friend exclusive. I don't think you can find them anywhere else in this configuration...as far as I know.

I've been aware of them for about a year or so and always eyeball them whenever I'm in a GC. But I've never seen a white one. The only ones I've seen are metallic seafoam green, which is pretty cool, and a typical burst, which is meh. So I'd almost settled on the seafoam green one in the store and decided to look online for a coupon...there are always coupons....and I just happened to see a white/black one at Musicians Friend. Boom. Done. Add to cart. No brainer. $749.

P/J basses aren't rare or anything, but this one has a cool look to me with the big black block inlays and black binding Jazz neck. It's not something you normally see on P Basses. The neck is sweet. I play bass like it's a guitar, so the slimmer neck works great. Look and sound of a P, plays easy like a J, I think it's a win/win.

The only knock is it has no case. Not even a gig bag. It came in a box. So I scrounged up an aftermarket case on amazon and it'll do.

My buddy that used to play in a band with me has the seafoam green. I had no idea that these were exclusive to GC/Musician's Friend, though.

[WhiskeyJack]

That might be why i had never ever heard of them. They will be highly sought after by smart bassits.

Rare breed i know, but there are some out there. perhaps a blanket term of "smart musicians" is more appropo?

[Greg_L]

Yeah it's not even on Fender's site. They make them just for sale through GC/MF. It's a Fender Precision Bass Special Deluxe Series. Lol. Hell of a name.

Lol yeah I don't know about all that, but I'm just happy to have a nice bass for once.

This year I need to buy boring utilitarian stuff, cab clamp, mix stands, XLR cables. I might treat myself to a better vocal mix later on in the year.

yeah ..... I just bought 500 dollars worth of cables

I just bought 300 pounds worth of finishing supplies...

I bought a curried meat pie yesterday - oh, and an half dozen Hot Cross Buns.

[rayc]

PJ bass - cloned already BUT it's active and they don't say what sort of neck. It's only AUS250 delivered though.

In bass land I already have an 81 vantage (round wounds), a 70s semiacoustic Emperador (flat wounds), a No Name acoustic 5 string and a knock off Hofner Violin/Beatle bass so am not in the market.
If I were I'd LOVE a real P bass with the chromeware.

[Tadpui]

That's pretty damned sweet Greg. Great looking bass. I think that Fender pretty much nailed the bass guitar on their first few tries. That's a great mesh of all of the classics wrapped up in one instrument.

I have to buy a new recording computer. The missus tripped over the charging cable and brought it crashing to its demise.

So far, HP are highest up the laptop list with:

G6 i5, 8gb RAM, 250gb SSD £469

Core i7, 8gb RAM 250gb SSD, £549

At least they've managed to recover my data.

I think you need @Tadpui to give you a hand with this - he was dead helpful when I got my last laptop.

[rayc]

What James said Bob.

[Bubba]

I'll bear it in mind but I need to get sorted quite quickly.

Just post up the links to the two machines and tag Tad in the post - I'm sure he'll be on before the end of the day.
