On a whim

[parker_muse]

So, anyone else done this?

I've sold my VMJ. I've been saving. I walk into a shop, and the first bass i try, i buy!


And amazingly no regrets!

Even more amazingly, i wasn't looking for anything like this. I wanted something like a MM, so an ATK or something along those lines.

What did i get?

An ibanez afb200! Its genius, it sounds just like a double bass. I LOVE IT.

I'll get pics up soon.

...loving the VMJ Parker. Gigging with it tonight for the first time down at The Duke Of York, Trench, Telford. If anyone lives local(ish) come down and hear how lovely it sounds. We're double headlining with Bassboy115's band inertia. I'm sure Bassdad will be there too. The more the merrier.

Glad you've found the AFB.

AFB is that the one with chambers in the body?


Ooooooh no its not, I've just Googled it... bl88dy 'eck thats nice.....

Go on then wassit like to play.....?

Got some Nylon wounds for it yet.....

[parker_muse]

Its a beaut, really smooth and has the thump of a bull elephant. I bet it would sound the true dog's bollocks through something like a markbass.

Its got the standard roundwounds on it at the moment... that won't be for long though!

Ummmmm

Nice one, Parker! Aren't you a tall chap, though? Did the short scale feel odd at first?

[parker_muse]

A little, but in an odd way the depth of the body kind of offsets it. I've adjusted quickly, sounds great what jamming in blues scales
