Cyrene Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) So, my parents take their grandson shopping in Newcastle at Guitar Guitar. He come away with this, his "dream bass", for an early birthday present. I used to get Our Price vouchers... He's going into the recording studio soon with his band so he'll be buzzing.

cocco Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) What do you think if it? I'm a P bass guy with a sore right wrist who's looking for something that wont cause my wrist as much grief. Edited January 6, 2014 by cocco Quote
Cyrene Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 Juat listening to him now. Playing everything between James Jamerson and RAtM. It sounds as 'big' as a P but I think the humbucker prevents it from having that clarity of tone that you get with a split coil. It may be in my head. It does sound great. He reckons it's v comfortable; I ain't been allowed near it yet! Quote

Cyrene Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 [quote name='Maude' timestamp='1389039286' post='2329218'] Wow! I hope he knows how lucky he is . [/quote] He does. He's never been spoilt like some and has worked really hard for his guitar grades as well as his gigging successes. He's getting quite the reputation locally. He was playing on a Squier VM Jag SS which he's keeping. To be honest, we've had a very lean three years as a family; it's nice now that he's able to pick up on our better fortunes. Quote
