FNBD Final New Bass Day

[basshead56]

Well I did it.

After watching this one for over 2years online with the local agent, I pulled the trigger and bought myself the one bass I will never put down.

I have promised both myself, my long-suffering better half and most of my mates that this is genuinely the last bass I ever buy. Feel free to screenshot this post and remind me if you see me lurking 🤣🤣🤣

 

But anyway, here she is:

One N.O.S. 2021 American Pro 2 Jazz bass 75rh Anniversary FSR  Dark Night with Rosewood board.

 

Genuinely cannot describe how beautiful this thing is, all around.

It feels amazing in the hand, sounds exactly like a Jazz should and it has the most beautiful rosewood I have ever seen on any neck!

 

This is a pretty good place to end my GAS Odyessy 😎

I really like the finish! Glad you’ve found a keeper.

That looks lovely. Congratulations! The FSR Jazzes are usually very special. I've got a hand stained Ash 2012 FSR Jazz which is also definitely a keeper. They're often mistaken for Guitar Center specials etc, but there's always something about a good FSR instrument. 

 

Dark Night finish is my favourite on the American Professional II as well.

 

Enjoy your new Bass

A trio of triumph!

Spent the day with all 3 and the SVT.

JOY!!!!

 

Fairly confindent in the assertion that this will genuinely be the last bass I buy 😎😁

But the headline says: Final New Bass. Therefore you are still with us, belonging to Musicians Anonymous.

Love the colour on that Dark Knight!! I know Fender call it Dark Night but if Batman played bass that is what he would play.
