Harmony1954 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Hello Folks, just got a new bass and decided to join this forum. After being away in the land of guitars for some decades I am migrating back to bass. Its a Fender from 2016, which is much better than the Hondo that i started on in 1992. Amp wise have a 1977 Marshall CMI Lead Bass 50 and am looking to find a suitable cab, or a new combo altogether.. I look forward to a good time here 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony1954 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Thanks, I have about 20 guitars, this is my only bass, and I feel satisfied. Wife has a Ibanez Soundgear, but i wanted something that could be passive as well, that I wouldn't need to upgrade. Also, I couldn't handle the faff of not being able to adjust the trussrod without all sorts of unscrewing, as is the case on traditional Fender basses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you should be on Guitar Chat too (it’s a bit quieter than here, whilst the numbers build). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony1954 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 1 hour ago, PaulThePlug said: Safety in numbers!... Nice Natural Strat... Thank you. I love colours, particularly sea Luar green and some oranges, but I have more security knowing that I am getting a quality piece of wood. Although many Strats made of up to 5 pieces of wood, I somehow feel it is more value getting one piece? I did upgrade the pickups to Abby's pickups, which sounds as though you have taken a blanket off of the speaker. Surprising to me, the Elite Bass is one magnificent piece of wood! I need to bring my skills up to the grade of the bass now! 1 hour ago, SpondonBassed said: Welcome Harmony. Thank you !
