AndyTravis Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 Rare occasion I overdid the wine last night… used to be every week. Always came with hilarious consequences. Spotted this on Facebook marketplace earlier in the day…”damn that’s nice…must behave” Anyhow: apparently at 2am this morning, just before going to bed… I bought a bass… Could've been worse. Damn PayPal interest free. 18 6 Quote
Bunion Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 Your not the only one, feel no guilt, as I said earlier I once bought an Austin Healey under the influence of drink off eBay. Shock of my life in the morning when the offer was accepted… I did have one hell of a summer out if it though, top down, warm hazy days and English country roads 😂🤣 1 7 Quote

stewblack Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 If I still drank I wouldn't have any money left for this kind of accident. What a beauty! 1 Quote

Bunion Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 Do you sell stuff cheap under the influence of beer? I may pop round with some IPA and a wallet with some Sterling… 1 Quote
Geek99 Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Nice … and just for once I understand your choices @AndyTravis but the plate looks a bit weird on low E around fret 18? Shouldn’t double back on itself ? Edited April 10, 2022 by Geek99 1 Quote

Geek99 Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 Should have been “just for once”…sorry The impulse purchases, I meant, and this one I get … beauty Quote
Geek99 Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 What I meant was that the plate on yours appears a bit closer to the edges of the body than these below; is that normal or is it just an aftermarket plate or maybe the photo angle ? Quote

It’s cos that’s a Squier affinity which has them further back cos increased tolerances is cheaper to make this would be a better comparison https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/fender-precision-bass/products/1957-fender-precision-bass-2-tone-sunburst-2 1 Quote
AndyTravis Posted April 10, 2022 Author Posted April 10, 2022 It’s single ply aluminium on “50’s” ones @Geek99 - without the bevelled edges they do give a little variation on the appearance. But yeah - I now see what you mean. And thank you - I knew you’d “get it” one day - if only for a fleeting moment. 😉 1 Quote
