BassAgent

I really and truly will ever understand why anyone would buy a (ripoff) bass from AliExpress. There are a gazillion arguments against buying from Ali, Temu, Shein and the works, and only one pro:

Someone was wondering if a topic with basses you sold and don't miss would be entertaining. So let's find out, shall we? I'll start. I bought this Guild M85 as a trade with a Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub I didn't really get along with and really really regretted that purchase. The sound, the ergonomics, it just wasn't for me. I almost got tendonitis from playing it (because I wasn't used to this kind of bass) and I sold it very very quickly. I didn't hate it because it was objectively a good bass, but I haven't missed it one second.

Well, let's find out, shall we?

Brilliant. Maybe not the best idea to put your full name and adress on the internet though😬

And if you could: don't🙃

Oh wait I've misjudged. The 1966 Daphne Blue Mustangs also had pearloid.

I've only seen tort and white (for custom colours) on pre-CBS Fenders. The transition period introduced pearloid on the Mustang bass, and even then only on red Mustangs, from 1967 on they were also available on the Daphne Blue basses (see JMJ's bass for example). The first Jazzes I've seen with pearloid are from '69 (and even then it's only one so might be custom ordered), on Precisions they don't seem to exist at all before 1992. I've only seen Custom Shop and a Longhorn P from that era with pearloid pickguard.

Had a brilliant gig last Friday with my ABBA tribute. Brought my Belgrado bass (buy one of those, they're terrific), the backstage area and organisation where absolutely brilliant, the audience was great... Loved that gig.

Bought tickets for King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard in November and Kraftwerk in December. Can't wait.

That is beeaauuutiful.

Poah, that is one amazing vest.

The settings on that Cali76 are interesting; can you elaborate a bit on that?
