I’m still in, even though I picked up a yamaha today.

 

It’s Ella’s first bass!

 

”dad I want a bass, I want a yamaha, I have £120”

 

Fun fact - I joined Basschat the day she was born.

A great first bass. Sure beats the likes of Kay we all seemed to start with. 🙂👍

Let me try to help you out: 

 

"It's horrid. You really don't want it"

 

Does that help at all?

But at least the colours on yours are conventional. 

That orange flame body and pale neck/headstock are too distinctive. @gapiro  really wants a cracked tort pick guard and a mollases-coloured fretboard. He just hasn't realised it yet.

Still in!  They have made it easy though, I do miss the dedicated bass department downstairs in Glasgow. Basses squeezed into the corner/end wall again, surrounded on three sides by skinny stringed miniature things shaped a little like basses. Ho hum and bah humbug.

What did they do with downstairs then ?

 

BTW I'm definitely out now. I reasoned that since I ordered the Cali76 CB before new year it didn't count.

However, One Fractal Audio sale later and crashed and burned.....again :i-m_so_happy:

Nothing, as far as I could see, it's cordoned off.
