NBD - My first Fender: American Vintage II 60s Precision in Daphne Blue

[Chadu25]

NBD just in time for my birthday next week. Here’s my first Fender. Got the American Vintage II 60s P. What an eye candy! Love it so much and loved it even more when I put on some La Bella 760FL. My first bass was a Squier Affinity Pbass when I started learning. Ended up going back at it. 

 

The Pure Vintage 60s pickup is amazing for my taste. Love the bottom end, nice warm mid-range tone and not to harsh for me. Here are some quick soundclips I've recorded through my focusrite. Pbass>Cali76 bass comp>Capo (Tone around 50-60%)

Nice bass.

I used a 5 string for a while when I was doing pub gigs. But the stuff I do now don’t require me to have a need of a low B. Reverted back to 4s

 

Thanks mate!

Suits you. Congrats, that's a lovely bass.

[BassAgent]

Lovely! Enjoy that. You won't regret it.

Thanks everyone! Been listening to D’Angelo’s Voodoo album, Sean Hurley, Nick Campbell, Pino, Michael League and Sam Wilkes who inspired me to come back to Pbass again.

I always enjoyed going to The Gallery when I lived down south, a real Aladdin’s cave.

Very nice chadu ,congrats , imo you won’t go wrong with that, and the La Bella 760FL are a perfect choice, they just get better the more you play them 

[fretmeister]

[Danuman]

Congrats! I really like the look of that neck, great colour combo. 

[cocco]

Beautiful. That'll serve you well.

Thank you! I’m surprised the string tension is really good! Very smooth and thumpy I love it. Channeling my inner Sean Hurley and Pino lol

Really stunning in person. The combination of the brown exterior and orange-y/gold plush interior of the case is amazing! Been picking up my bass more than I used to. 

Here are some quick soundclips I've recorded. Pbass>Cali76>Capo>Audio Interface
