Oh come on! You can't just throw that in there and then leave it. 😆

 

There must be a story behind that. 

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.

So many people keep telling me

"Leo got it right first time".

So, was his second bass any good?

 

Welcome aboard!

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.
