Time for this year's bass purchase, help please

[Defo]

Some of you may me remember me posting in years past about my yearly allowed bass purchase, well it's that time again. Budget up to £1200, you can see what I have to date in my signature. Thinking about a precision type (but not a Fender) or a fretless, or anything else that you can come up with. Thanks

Only once a year - that's deprivation! I've done 26 basses in 6 years.
Suggestions: Sire V7 fretless, Moollon Classic P

Precision type but not Fender says Lakland to me.

No ACG in your collection? Try one and then don't buy it....bet you can't...

[Harryburke14]

I'd wait to see what the Sire PJs are like when they come out, as I'm sure we can all testify for Sires VFM.

Any thoughts on a Yamaha BB1024X?

Precision type say G&L LB100 for a more vintage vibe, more modern go to SB-1, PJ go for an SB-2.

If you like a tele body get a G&L ASAT, you get close to a P sound with the neck pick up. I have a solid and a semi hollow one, they are fantastic

[gary mac]

If wanted a non Fender precision, it would have to be G&L, either an SB1 or LB100


Enjoy your spend.

For me it would be this.

I don't understand the phrase "yearly allowed"!

Looking at the gear in your sig I don't think you need any more gear. Even though it's "that time of the year"!!

[Cuzzie]

Don't forget to look on TB at basses for sale across the water.
I got 1 of my G&Ls from there and including shipping and taxes it was still cheaper than if it was over here

Quite... no justification needed, buy whatever the hell you like

How about a vintage Tokai Hardpuncher?

Easy. Speak to Adrian at Maruszczyk and get the exact P you've always wanted.

OK, now we've got that sorted, can we make a decision on the degree of relic'ing he's allowed this year?

Or he could just get a Squire & spend the rest of the budget on a nice watch?

But what would he do with a young horse looker after-er if he's not got a horse (or a watch)?

Ended up with an 80s Aria SB, will post pictures when she arrives
