What Next......?

[farmer61]

So after a rush of buying kit I'm now at a stage where I have all of the basses that I think I've wanted, the only downside of my collection is that none are vintage (if that's an issue).

So with a reasonably significant birthday approaching in 18 months time, and the need for some major pressie ideas, what should I looking for? cause I haven't got a clue tbh.

I want it to be something that I've been gassing for over a period of time not something that is bought on a whim (normal style)

Budget?

Haven't you answered your question? You clearly have a hankering after a vintage bass. Go for a vintage Fender Precision, they're bl**dy great


... or alternatively a stretch limo, loaded with Cristal and bee-atches

Real talk.

Yeah, a nice old Fender, they really do have a soul other basses don't seem to have. I miss having a '78 Precision I foolishly moved on last year, but strangely an old Jap Squier Precision has filled it's boots admirably, I think I might prefer the Squier, it's fab, and in fact the Sado hasn't been out for a while because of it.

If I was in the market for something special, I'd be looking for a [i]nice[/i] vintage Jazz or Precision. I'll be 50 in 5 years time, maybe then.

I suffered from 'lack of GAS' at one time.

Don't worry. It doesn't last long.

£1500, assuming the recession doesn't get me

Then something vintage [u]may[/u] be possible.

You have a Musicman Stingray, Fender Precision, Fender Jazz, Rickenbacker 4003, Gibson Thunderbird and a Double Bass... what you lack is a Warwick (or a Zon )!

[Marvin]

Or a custom build. Yeah, you know it makes sense. Not an expensive custom thing though, or not. How much does your usual custom build go for these days?

[retroman]

How about an old semi acoustic bass? Just a thought, as you have plenty of solid body stuff
