Eddiestone Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I'm based in Plymouth, and guitar is actually my main instrument. I have a Squier P bass and a BAM200 amp. Also I've actually played the second bass ever made by Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome aboard! It was a significant improvement on a stand up bass. I've certainly played worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Welcome to the site Eddy. Pshaw, nobody remembers the name of the guy who played the second ever Fender bass.

Hi Eddie, good to know that you're finally ready to confess. 😃 Guitar was my main instrument for several years. Yes, I am a guitaroholic and it's been 20 years since my last solo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just throw that in there and then leave it. 😆 There must be a story behind that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just throw that in there and then leave it. 😆 There must be a story behind that. It was at a festival in Italy. A local guy was showing his collection of Pre-CBS Fenders. He had every single model of every single guitar from every year. Some were mint, some were very battered. A lot of them were red. I remember he had Strats, Tele's, Jazzmasters, Jaguars, Precision and Jazz basses. The oldest bass was number 2, very similar to a Tele. All the guitars were playable. If you asked, he'd wheel over a Fender Twin, plug you in and wander off while you noodled. I played the bass, a couple of strats, a very old and battered Jazzmaster and a couple of Jags. I have a photo of it all on a hard drive somewhere - I think it was about 2016 or 2017, somewhere round then. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
