waynepunkdude Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 On a rutine serch of ebay I found 2 contrasting basses one I would kill my grandmother for (she is getting on a bit and this will last longer) and the tackyest looking thing I've ever seen.

waynepunkdude Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 [quote name='gareth' post='267376' date='Aug 21 2008, 09:22 PM']Regarding "hot", if i were you I'd get one of the Japanease Fender 51 reissues - they are better nade, have proper positioned truss rods and are made of ash not basswood. If tyou keep an eye out you can get these used on the bay for £250 to £300. A better buy and the resale value will be better too[/quote] It is so pretty though.

beerdragon Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think that Pbass has gone way past tacky and is coming around to being something i could play for a laugh onstage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I actually rather like tha p-bass :blush: Though it's funny how the lights and sh*t probably cost more than the actual bass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdy Lights" bass is pretty f***ing awesome! Wouldn't spend more than £30 on it, but HELL YEAH!!! Nothing says TACKY better than neons...be it on a pug 106, or on a p-bass replica! *all opinions expressed in this post are the posters own, and probably do not represent the views of BC as a whole* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Personally, I think that Fender Squier Classic that you have as "Hot" I would classify as "utterly hideous". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
