MarkG3 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hello everyone got a bit of a question that I would like people's input on. Since getting my dream bass the Gibson G3, my Fender Highway One P has been barely played. I've tried playing it but it just doesn't feel and sound as good to me as the G3 so I don't play on it for long and always end up back on the G3. What would you do? Keep it but all it would be doing is collecting dust Sell it Really not sure what to do so would appreciate some opinions! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Seriously though, it sounds like you've moved on or outgrown the Fender... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Sell... it is a working tool, that isn't..er...working. Put the money by and ad a bit to it for when you get GAS for something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 If it's not a collectible one and it's also not getting played, think I would be moving it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The magic's gone, sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Sell it. You will get around £400 odd for it and use the cash for something you want/need. Then realise a year down the line, you really miss the P bass sound and get another one! [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedoghouse Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yep, I'm with everybody else on this one. If the love isn't there any more, move her on to someone else who will play her. I know it's hard to let go sometimes but you'll prob be glad of the money to put towards another GAS object of desire sometime. I just sold a couple of amps that I didn't use but wanted to keep for nostalgia and 'just in case' but I'm so pleased with the Warwick Stryker that they helped fund which arrived today (thanks to a BassChatter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG3 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thanks everyone, that's what I thought I would end up doing anyway. I'll get it up for sale then when I can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDaddy Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Are you gigging? It's always worth having a backup bass, but if the Fender has lost its magic sell it and get the Epiphone equivalent of your Gibson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If only that were possible - there is no Epiphone equivalent and never has been. They did a PJ wearing bolt on necked "Ripper" a few years back which is as close as it came. Same body shape and construction being the only similarities with a G-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the older epiphone version was/is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
