Just watched all twelve episodes this past weekend...can't even count how many times I've rewatched Fawlty Towers. Still funny.

Sure, not exactly what you'd call a bargain-priced practice amp, but it's worth every penny...and it's louder than my friend's Fender Rumble 100 no matter the volume setting. He didn't want to admit it but he was definitely green with envy. Funny thing is, he laughed when I walked through the door with it...he thought it was one of those plastic battery-powered amps like the Laney NX or the Blackstar Fly. He couldn't believe it when I plugged in.

At first, I thought it said $4,500, but damn! I mean, I can understand $12,500 or even $13,500, but $14,500?

Now, it's this. Some might not consider it much of a change, but believe me, it's a considerable one.

Once, this one used to be my favorite bass.

Short-scale, narrow body depth...won't be as loud as a jumbo-body acoustic if you're buying it to play unplugged. The Luminlay markers are nice. I like the 12th-fret marker, too. Other than that... https://youtu.be/JoJLbabnPc0?si=asu40LuFxC2qZQ_Z

I've heard that the rubber ones last for 3 to 6 months. Sounds about right.

I've been saying pretty much the same thing since the day I bought one...one of the smoothest, easy-to-play Precision necks I've ever played, very responsive tone control...better than quite a few of the current Fenders. Looks great with the gold anodized pickguard, too. Absolutely no need to buy any other P bass.

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EB2748--ernie-ball-pino-palladino-signature-smoothie-flats-bass-guitar-strings-038-098-extra-light My friend just bought an $80 Glarry Precision bass and was thinking of buying these. Of course, he just spent over $900 for a set of run-flat tires for his Pontiac Aztek, so...

Bacchus...made me forget all about Fender, Squier, Sire, etc.

Finally had the opportunity to play one today. For anyone worried about the pickup sounding like a mudbucker, no need for concern...this thing sounds great, quite a change in tone rolling off the tone knob. I can only imagine how good it would sound with proper strings. The quality of this bass is surprisingly good, even though I expected as much...and damn, it looks even better in real life! Sweetwater has several and they all seem to be in the 9 pound zone, but I'm guessing the one I played was much closer to 8 pounds. Oh yeah, it does both hard rock 𝘢𝘯𝘥 soft rock with equal conviction...I have to believe it'd make a nice bass for that Motown sound, too. Yes, I've played the Fender Vintera version, but no one would ever be able to convince me to buy one of them instead.

I blew it when I didn't jump on this!

Fender at its best. I don't remember ever seeing a passive Fender PJ before.

Sire, very popular for a good reason. Sure, many will suggest getting an amp, but I'm betting you buy a nice bass like this and you won't be able to put it down. Andertons Sire Version 2 Marcus Miller V3 4-String Bass in Red Satin £249.00£439.00

Suggestions for an inexpensive P Bass with a Jazz neck
jd56hawk replied to Minininjarob's topic in Bass Guitars
Someone mentioned Sire. This one at Andertons has a ridiculously low price. -
Show me a Fender that looks better. On second thought, don't bother...even their custom shop basses aren't quite as nice.

I didn't examine it too closely, but it seemed to be good... the neck was very comfortable and fret work was spot on.
