you got deep pockets too
get a jazz bass, nice thin necks on `em[/quote]
no, normal job, partner, child, dog, cats etc usual demands on income. Hobbies are less important. My partner tends to notice if I like something and secretly buy it so I try not to make special trips to look at things.
Its a Stingray copy by Vintage (£140 or so), not a [i]real[/i] Stingray. Look for "Vintage®EST96Series" [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintagebass.html"]here[/url] although mine is yellow like the one in the link below it.
I have always hankered after a Jazz bass but never played one. I just like the look - I will try one now since you mentioned the thin necks (which might reduce the stubby finger effect) although no music shops near me seem to stock them, either genuine or imitation.
