My first *new* bass PORN

[Stag]

Id had the horn for a Fender for ages, i have a lovely little Musicmaster for rehearsals but just had to go out and get the real deal. Quick fact : ive never bought a new bass before, so this is all a bit new to me. Mmm. Pretty SKB case with "case candy" inside as well. Very happy.

So : here's the porn.

That is a nice bass!
Always really liked sunburst but ended up with two fenders in black. Bit like preferring blondes and ending up with a brunette.

Very nice, Stag. The new semi-transparent 3TS is lovely, isn't it? What made you choose the Precision in the end? I thought you were looking at a Jazz last time we conversed on here...

[Old Horse Murphy]

Great choice. I really miss my 2008 US P bass

I'm sure you'll get many hours of joy out of her.

[Stingray5]

Yeh, that's nice!
For all the wonderful basses there are around, it all still comes back to something like your sunburst P bass.
Oh dear, I can feel a GAS attack coming on, thank you very much!

[KingPrawn]

That is an amazing classic, no question. Nice sheets as well, they from M&S???

[Clarky]

Very pretty, I do like a nice sunburst! And the 2009 P-basses are cracking

[Musicman20]

Glad you got it looks like a beaut as well.

We should a/b my maple board one with your rosewood.

I think the sunburst is really good, and the bridge/case/candy/neck/board/pickups are really impressive

[Dood]

Hey Steve mate! Yeah, thats a luverlee bass! mmmmm!!!!! Well done, I guess I'll need to pop round with tea and biccies soon to hear a bit of Ampeg abuse with your fine fine new acquisition yes? ;o)

Lovely Lovely - I bought one of these last year in New York - with the dollar so low then you'd all kill me if I told you what it cost in sterling

Mine is currently strung with D'Addario Chromes and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just did a week of 'The Pirates Of Penzance', with a big hunk of foam under the strings at the bridge and the tone almost fully off. Never would have thought I'd go for a sound like that but it ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evening guys... thanks for all the nice comments.

OTPJ - I tried a number of Jazzes and just couldnt get on with them, even the very expensive one in V&R that some on here have taken a liking to. I prefer the P-Sound, i suppose im more of a "rawk" boy, but the fact you can get some lovely bottom end out of a P for the funky stuff also sold it. All my other basses arent exactly versatile so a P seemed the natural choice.

The sheets? No idea, missus got them from somewhere!

And DJV, you are of course welcome over for cups of tea and bass and biccies whenever ya like! lol! Although this time I wont get you fixing any amps, you can just drink tea and play! Must put some of the piccies of that evening up, some serious $$$$'s of bass gear in my house that night...

That's lovely - sunburst / tort / rosewood is always a fab combination for a P. You got flats on it yet?

[Stag]

How bizarre - I was just talking to a fellow BC member here in the office (BassCat) about putting flats on it!

Ill do that after this weekend's gigs, payday tomorrow (woop)

[BassCat]

This is true, we were talking about flats!

I had the pleasure of a quick fiddle with this at the weekend and I can confirm it is a beauty!! Although not as good as mine as it doesn't have a mirrored scratchplate. Shiny.

It's the law on sunburst P's with maple necks
