And the GAS...

That sounds like a good offer to me ...,

At the end of the day it is the sound we judge a p by. Does it matter how that sound arrives at the amp ?

Don’t expect perfect but it sounds not even close

This looks good to me for a newbie caveat - I don’t know the seller, just trying to give an indication to you

No excuse for that. Who did you buy it from ?

My kids turned around to listen so that’s a fairly good sign

I’d just leave it alone personally they sound just like a p as they are

Flip the photo back the right way please - can’t stand it when my phone mangles photos like that nice collection

:awesome:

I’ve been there, they seemed a perfectly reasonable shop to me.

Welcome - try listening to Motown and stax too. HB are highly respected here

To clarify - GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) will get you in its evil jaws. Some people own basses for just a few weeks before moving them on in favour of something else that is equally/more shiny. If it’s of reasonable quality it will do, whatever it’s price tag. Even cheap stuff is decent these days and there is enough experience here to advise how to make it better than that. i would never spend your budget on a bass even now. £500 is the most I’ve ever spent on anything and that got me (admittedly with some luck) into US fender/German-made Warwick territory.

Take someone from here with you if you can. Second hand US or jap fender would get my vote for less money than you’ve got ready

Mine had no scratch plate and wasn’t active otherwise it looks broadly similar. It’s not a bad price for a shop

We’re both being played at the same altitude ?

I had one of those, the five string in trans red. Regret selling but I needed the money it was a 4 plus 1 headstock with jazz bass pickups. I put an emg preamp in it

I think that’s actually pretty good @caitlin

Oh that’s just too awesomely amazing - it’s obviously all fake news...

There we go, we’ve just got him calmed down and you go and stir the pot....

Nope final stage is always a good buffing with powdered sunlight, which has to be made by elves and only then on Wednesdays

You’re right - it really needs something to make fenders look overpriced, they’re don’t look that way when viewed on their own...

No, then it will look s h I t

Huge hots for her at the time
