Greetings from Portsmouth

[Dobsyuk]

Hey Guys,

I'm Lloyd, i am 28 and from Pompey. I have been playing on and off since I was 13.

I have a Fender MIM 50's road-worn precision in Sunburst + recently picked up a crafted in Japan Fender Mustang so I can twinkle around with a shorter scale.

I usually play more indie rock kinda stuff but recently have gotten into playing more motown and classics to improve my playing and way of thinking.

I am currently looking around for a Jazz bass but nothing special so if anyone has some suggestions that won't break the bank please let us know (also doesn't have to be Fender either) - I have recently been looking at SX Jazz Bass's (vintage series) as have read a lot that they are a bit better than a Squier, so wondering if people had any more info on those! (i am a big fan of the band Khruangbin and Laura Lee uses one which had me intrigued) 

Cheers guys 😁

Hello from Waterlooville.

Have you had a look in the Southsea Guitar Centre? Good place to look for s/h stuff.

No I haven’t! That’s a great shout.

what do you mean by s/h stuff?

Welcome Lloyd.  "s/h" means second hand.

Hey Lloyd, welcome to BassChat. Enjoyed reading your introduction and I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. 

I'm sure you'll be able to find a jazz bass in the marketplace cheap enough but still quality enough to not need another anytime soon.... Keeping the band and the old wallet strings at ease 😉👌🏻

Hope to see you around
