ianSB Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 On saturday i was out around leeds just window shopping and decided to go into carphone warehouse. I went in and was offered a great contract for the Iphone 4 and went through all the malarkey to sign up only to find out my card has a glitch and wouldnt process so in a flurry of anger and disappointment i walked out of the shop and went to look at basses. Having already played the bass in the shop before i went in and it was still there and thought well......... why not buy it. its safe to say i walked out a much happier person and im very grateful for my card not working as i now have an amazing new fender mark hoppus sig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny-79 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The iPhone would be out of date before you got it home anyways, (don't get the "IN" phone thing that do everything apart from make calls, its a freeking telephone man whats there to get all hot an bothered over with them ??, personaly "idon't" <---<insert pun> get it ??????? ) ...BUT.... the bass will never go out of date an only improve with time so good score !!

BigBassBob Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 How would you say this bass compares to other MIMs of the past and other breeds of Fender (MIJ, MIA)? I'm itching to get one of these new models but there's no chance I'd be able to try one before buying where I live. (I'm planning on swapping out the Seymour Duncan and putting in a Nordstrand NP4 and a set of flats). Cheers, Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Bob.[/quote] id say it plays quite a bit better than my MIM 70s classic and it holds it own against some of the other breeds. i cant comment on MIJ as i haven't played one but ive played a few MIAs and American deluxes and id say it gives it a good run for the money i personally think its worth every penny and it was good to gig when i bought it and gigged the whole weekend with it no bother so i would recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
