It was at a festival in Italy. A local guy was showing his collection of Pre-CBS Fenders. He had every single model of every single guitar from every year. Some were mint, some were very battered. A lot of them were red. I remember he had Strats, Tele's, Jazzmasters, Jaguars, Precision and Jazz basses. The oldest bass was number 2, very similar to a Tele. All the guitars were playable. If you asked, he'd wheel over a Fender Twin, plug you in and wander off while you noodled. I played the bass, a couple of strats, a very old and battered Jazzmaster and a couple of Jags. I have a photo of it all on a hard drive somewhere - I think it was about 2016 or 2017, somewhere round then.

It was a significant improvement on a stand up bass. I've certainly played worse.

I'm based in Plymouth, and guitar is actually my main instrument. I have a Squier P bass and a BAM200 amp. Also I've actually played the second bass ever made by Fender.

Bass player wanted for a three piece band based in Plymouth. Mostly gigging, but some writing and recording as well. Not your normal pub rock covers band. More Carol Kaye than Bootsy Collins.
