[quote name='LukeFRC' post='899559' date='Jul 19 2010, 10:57 PM']I was going to say I used my Fender P bass at church yesterday and it sounded fine, then checked your myspace (nice drumming too) and you play a different style of music so maybe isnt the best fit, also depends on amp and playing style.
A 'Fender Precision' could be worth anything from £50 to £50,000 depending on what it is, it maybe was a bit daft just to pluck a price out the air for a bass that doesn't belong to you. If it doesn't get used maybe it would be in your churches interest to sell it, if you stuck photos and info on the 'bass guitars' forum then folk on here should be able to give you a rough valuation, then the guys at your church can decide if its worth selling.
But don't fret, if you dont sell the ibanez in time and miss this ken smith then another one will turn up. We've all been in the situation where the seeming dream bass comes up and you really want it, but if you don't have the money, you don't have the money. Wait and save.
Also if you want a wee bass challenge.... go listen to everything you can find by james jamerson.... incorporate his style in your playing at church.....[/quote]
yhh thanks man.
yh im really not sure about the price but i was just looking around on the internet and saw a general price range of £4-£500 on the type of bass it was and looked like, so thats where i got the price from.
yh i will have to do that, even though i cant sell it now, ill still do all the research i can on it (but i cant get a pic up since im not selling it so i cant bring it home just to take pics then take it back). but just incase soon that they do decide to sell it because im not really a fan of fender myself and i know that the other bass player isnt either, its just what we happen to have in our church.
only thing is im not sure when another burner will come up, im hoping soon if i cant sell my ibanez and buy this burner for friday. but well see anyway, thanks.
yhh i listen to him a bit myself, not that much but my church is more of an african church, so even though i play jazz and gospel more my churches style is not like that atall. but i still love james stuff although i dont listen to it much. thanks again
