Geek99 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 [quote name='gareth' timestamp='1370611086' post='2103430'] thanks I did not know that - yes nitro is definitely an improvement worth having [/quote] My new (bass doc) p bass has nitro and its much nicer to look at, more mellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Difficult question to answer. Both very good basses, but at the moment I prefer the Classic as it has more character and I like the sound. I am seriously considering selling the US standard as I don't have room for many instruments. I have not taken the US standard out of the case since buying the classic, but it's still less than a week since i bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 [quote name='MisterFingers' timestamp='1370714036' post='2104803'] i knew after I joined this place I'd never be happy with just one bass... [/quote] Ha ha! That's just the tip of the iceberg mate! Back OT - that's a lovely looking J Dave. For me the only improvement would be a 70s style neck with pearl blocks... which would stop it being a 60s "classic" of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Our tastes differ, I actively avoid block markers on the neck, preferring the look of the wood and small dots. I also dislike the appearance of maple fingerboards, they always look anaemic to my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Several weeks and a couple of gigs later, the US standard still has not left its case, the classic is my number one bass at the moment.
