cybertect Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 First thing I should mention is that in 35-odd years at this game of playing bass, I've never owned a Fender before, or a P. I popped into my local branch of Guitar Guitar in Epsom this afternoon and this recent arrival caught my eye hanging on the wall at a reasonable price... Rather pretty in Blizzard Pearl, nearly 20 years but barely a sign of it (the lightest of scuffs on the tip of the headstock). Took it for a spin and it felt exactly right under the hand and sounded fine. Sometimes you just make a connection with an instrument, so I resolved to buy it. Discovered at this point that it came with a fitted Fender hard case, which was a nice bonus, and that it had been sold to them by the bass player in a very well known band, but I won't say who here. I take these stories with a pinch of salt, but they are fun nevertheless 🙂 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I have the American version but what I like about the MIM ones is that they have a Jazz Bass neck which, if I'm honest, is my preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theyellowcar Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I’ve had one of these in Red with a rosewood board since about 2005. They’re lovely basses, congrats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
