FinnDave Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I was casually browsing Facebook this afternoon over a cuppa and saw a black/black/maple P bass for sale at a reasonable price. I've been thinking about a mate for my black/black/maple Jazz, and now it seems I have one on the way. I suspect my CiJ 60s Precision will need to be moved on to provide space and fill the hole in my bank balance, but going to be worth it see the pair of black n maple basses on my bass stand! I know, worthless without pics, etc, but at least allow it to arrive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I did the same the other night. I'd be rich if the Internet didn't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowhand_mike Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 ah the good old impulse buy, fortunately im too poor to even contemplate it let alone go looking was there not pic of it on facebook you could have snapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Well done! Er... do you have any pics of your CIJ 60s P..? You know... just out of interest... *Whistles innocently and shuffles about with hands in pockets* Edited September 9, 2016 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highfox Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Nice, congrats.Can't go wrong with a P. I surprised myself yesterday as well by making a unexpected swap on basses after spending an hour or so on the internet.

Lozz196 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 That was a good price as well - the post 2012 MIMs are a real step up in quality. I have one in exactly the same colour-scheme - stoopidly sold it, then luckily got the chance to buy it back. Congrats on a nice looking bass Dave.

[/quote] I'll let you know once I get it. I hope it is, it's getting a bit chilly in the evenings and I've spent all the heating money on basses now!

Fisheth Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Lovely bass. I've just made an impulse buy too. The Internet is possibly the worst thing in existence for my wallet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 At least I bought this bass sober! I once bought a Precision while...not sober... and had to organise getting it from England to Finland. It was a good bass, though, and I regret selling it when I was moving back here a few years ago. Not as bad as a bloke I know who bought a Rolls Royce on eBay while drunk! He went through with it, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to sleep on the idea last time and it had sold by the next morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that tops it is black/black/maple with a cream DiMarzio. Am I right or what?
