GBD Sad Goodbye Day


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Due to age, health, and deteriorating arthritis in my left thumb I have decided to say goodbye to three of my “Trophy” long scale basses.

Trophy? Well, you know, at times during your working life funds pop up unexpectedly and you mark the event with, of course, a bass purchase.

So, my ’72 Fender Telecaster bass, US Fender natural P Deluxe and MIM Fender FSR Seafoam green PJ.

2007 US Fender Delux, maple neck with carbon rods, light natural ash body 9v active.

Getting old and infirm sucks 😤! At least you owned and enjoyed them for a while. Hopefully, you can have some fun with the proceeds.

Yup, still got all my short scale basses and still playing in one band.

I really fancy a USA G&L Fallout, because the tribute I had for my 70th birthday is super and I hear that the USA ones are even better.

Are you planting your thumb and stretching for the notes?

 

My thumb is also going arthritic, but when I'm playing it's always moving around and most of the time I put very little pressure on it.
