Hi @Little Helios Welcome back to the world of bass. I started playing in about 1982. I hadnt been playing that long, before i just stopped altogether. There were a few times when i picked a bass up and dreamed of playing again.... one day. After not playing for almost 25 years, I started again, and haven't looked back. There are times when I think how much better I'd be if I hadn't given up. But mostly, I'm just happy to be playing. I've spent way way too much on basses. I own way too many, and keep swapping, selling & trading.... but it's all part of the fun for me 😀

I'm sure you will @Lozz196 it's a really good read. He shares some great anecdotes. I must read it again.

Wow! He's just gone up even more in my estimations of him. Wish I'd been there, I'd have really enjoyed a noodle on both those basses. Thanks for sharing this info & the pics 😀

Well, having just recently sold a Precision (and one I really liked at that), I've gone and got another one. Moreover, I had one of these before, and sold it, partly to "upgrade" to a Fender.... so it's full circle, again 😉 Actually, I previously owned 2 of these earlier versions of the Squier Classic Vibe P basses; one in pale blue, and the other in Fiesta Red. I swore blind I'd never sell either - but I was tempted away by other basses. Selling my CV's only in attempt to keep the numbers down. Anyhow, I really did miss both, especially the Fiesta Red version as it had become my fave colour, with Tort guard. My upgraded Fiesta Red P was a Mex Classic 50's, and I really liked that too. However, the slightly wider neck was beginning to feel less comfortable. So I found myself wishing it had a slightly narrower neck, like the CV. So local BC'er and top bloke Lewis put this up for sale, and I decided to swing by and take a trip down memory lane, and I was instantly taken back to the enjoyment I got, playing my old CV. It's a tad heavier than the Danelectro, or the Short Scale Ibanez I mostly gig with these days - but what the heck... I just decided to go for it. I can always use it for a first set, then switch to the Dano for the 2nd set anyway, eh? Will I ever learn? Probably not

Lovely looking bass @Eric_Wombat. I must admit, I've pondered getting one of these - even though I already have way too many. I particularly like the colour, it's a pinkish burgundy wine, and i think it's a great colour. I've not played one of these, but have heard great reports from owners and people who've tried them out. I quite liked Guy Pratt, and he went up in my estimations after reading his book - very well written, and so entertaining. Also, I really enjoyed his lockdown videos & bass lessons. Enjoy your new bass 😀

Awesome! Congratulations sir 😀

Oh no! Sad news indeed 😞
