I seem to have bought another bass!

[FinnDave]

I was casually browsing Facebook this afternoon over a cuppa and saw a black/black/maple P bass for sale at a reasonable price. I've been thinking about a mate for my black/black/maple Jazz, and now it seems I have one on the way. I suspect my CiJ 60s Precision will need to be moved on to provide space and fill the hole in my bank balance, but going to be worth it see the pair of black n maple basses on my bass stand!

I know, worthless without pics, etc, but at least allow it to arrive!

[AndyTravis]

I did the same the other night.

I'd be rich if the Internet didn't exist.

[FinnDave]

I'd never reach the heights of being rich, but I'd certainly be less poor!

[lowhand_mike]

ah the good old impulse buy, fortunately im too poor to even contemplate it let alone go looking

was there not pic of it on facebook you could have snapped?

[discreet]

Well done! Er... do you have any pics of your CIJ 60s P..? You know... just out of interest...

Can't beat black/black/maple in my book.

Nice, congrats.Can't go wrong with a P.
I surprised myself yesterday as well by making a unexpected swap on basses after spending an hour or so on the internet. (dangerous place for the weak willed)

[gary mac]

Think I was tempted by that one myself

That was a good price as well - the post 2012 MIMs are a real step up in quality. I have one in exactly the same colour-scheme - stoopidly sold it, then luckily got the chance to buy it back. Congrats on a nice looking bass Dave.

I'll let you know once I get it. I hope it is, it's getting a bit chilly in the evenings and I've spent all the heating money on basses now!

[Fisheth]

Lovely bass.

I've just made an impulse buy too.

The Internet is possibly the worst thing in existence for my wallet!

[FinnDave]

At least I bought this bass sober! I once bought a Precision while...not sober... and had to organise getting it from England to Finland. It was a good bass, though, and I regret selling it when I was moving back here a few years ago.

Not as bad as a bloke I know who bought a Rolls Royce on eBay while drunk! He went through with it, too!

Sounds like something I'd do.

[fretmeister]

I saw that bass on fb too.

I was very close to buying it!

Dibs if you don't keep it!

I'll try to remember that! I just missed another a few weeks ago, so this time acted fast. I decided to sleep on the idea last time and it had sold by the next morning.

Agreed. The only thing that tops it is black/black/maple with a cream DiMarzio. Am I right or what?

And the one thing better than that is when it's not a Fender.

I agree.
I had that kind of thing going on when I had a black and maple.

Damn, you've just cost me a new pick up!

Realised when I had a post afternoon gig pint in my local that the (young) landlady is a blonde who wears black and reminds me so much of a bass in those colours!

Now you've just save me most of the cost of the pick-up I probably don't need. Paljon Kiitoksia!

[fretmeister]

Leave the pickup black!
