thebassist Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 [b]New (reunited) bass day 1 of 2:[/b] Here is my 2013 model Fender American Standard Jazz Bass that I originally bought brand new back in December 2013 and having only really used it as a studio bass, I naively chose to sell it on in October 2014. Thankfully Nick (Old Horse Murphy) contacted me earlier this month and very kindly offered me first refusal to buy it back. I didn't hesitate, it's a superb bass and I'm extremely pleased to have it back... My second acquisition is due later on today... I'm quite excited [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/jazz_zpsc6c75c3a.jpg.html"][/url] Quote
discreet Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Nice! But TWO NBDs..? That a bit greedy... What's the second one? Quote
Conan Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) I think he means that it's his second NBD with this particular bass Mark...? Not all of us can buy TWO new basses at the same time!! Edit - hang on, so that would be NBD x3!!! Edited November 28, 2014 by Conan Quote

I've never bought a signature bass before, bit of a pet hate to be honest, but this is the only 6-string extended range bass that Fender make so I've been looking out for one since 2012. I can't wait to get started on this bass...[/font][/color] [URL=http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/jazz6_zpsafba661a.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag101/minuspilots/jazz6_zpsafba661a.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote

Also, as a side note... does that fit in your stand properly? I've got a K&M stand that holds the basses from the neck that isnt wide enough for six string necks, also the mini hercules one I have has the upturns at the front of the feet at just the wrong angle for my wal as its right on one of the knobs. I could do with a suitable stand... Edited November 28, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote
discreet Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 That sixer looks killer! Way too many strings for me, though... Quote

Thankfully, I actually got a new stand, a double one to take the 4 and 6 stringers - it fits alright in this stand - check it out...

[/quote] Cheers gents... I'm running a little low though - now I've got the bass situation sorted, I'd better get a couple of new bottles in - they're a lot easier to smuggle past the wife! Quote
