Stag Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Id had the horn for a Fender for ages, i have a lovely little Musicmaster for rehearsals but just had to go out and get the real deal. Quick fact : ive never bought a new bass before, so this is all a bit new to me. Mmm. Pretty SKB case with "case candy" inside as well. Very happy. So : here's the porn.

Buzzgroove Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) That is a nice bass! Always really liked sunburst but ended up with two fenders in black. Bit like preferring blondes and ending up with a brunette. Edited November 24, 2009 by Buzzgroove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Very nice, Stag. The new semi-transparent 3TS is lovely, isn't it? What made you choose the Precision in the end? I thought you were looking at a Jazz last time we conversed on here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Great choice. I really miss my 2008 US P bass I'm sure you'll get many hours of joy out of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yeh, that's nice! For all the wonderful basses there are around, it all still comes back to something like your sunburst P bass. Oh dear, I can feel a GAS attack coming on, thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPrawn Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 That is an amazing classic, no question. Nice sheets as well, they from M&S??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Very pretty, I do like a nice sunburst! And the 2009 P-basses are cracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Glad you got it looks like a beaut as well. We should a/b my maple board one with your rosewood. I think the sunburst is really good, and the bridge/case/candy/neck/board/pickups are really impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hey Steve mate! Yeah, thats a luverlee bass! mmmmm!!!!! Well done, I guess I'll need to pop round with tea and biccies soon to hear a bit of Ampeg abuse with your fine fine new acquisition yes? ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Lovely Lovely - I bought one of these last year in New York - with the dollar so low then you'd all kill me if I told you what it cost in sterling Mine is currently strung with D'Addario Chromes and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just did a week of 'The Pirates Of Penzance', with a big hunk of foam under the strings at the bridge and the tone almost fully off. Never would have thought I'd go for a sound like that but it ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stag Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Evening guys... thanks for all the nice comments. OTPJ - I tried a number of Jazzes and just couldnt get on with them, even the very expensive one in V&R that some on here have taken a liking to. I prefer the P-Sound, i suppose im more of a "rawk" boy, but the fact you can get some lovely bottom end out of a P for the funky stuff also sold it. All my other basses arent exactly versatile so a P seemed the natural choice. The sheets? No idea, missus got them from somewhere! And DJV, you are of course welcome over for cups of tea and bass and biccies whenever ya like! lol! Although this time I wont get you fixing any amps, you can just drink tea and play! Must put some of the piccies of that evening up, some serious $$$$'s of bass gear in my house that night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredders Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 That's lovely - sunburst / tort / rosewood is always a fab combination for a P. You got flats on it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 How bizarre - I was just talking to a fellow BC member here in the office (BassCat) about putting flats on it! Ill do that after this weekend's gigs, payday tomorrow (woop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassCat Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 This is true, we were talking about flats! I had the pleasure of a quick fiddle with this at the weekend and I can confirm it is a beauty!! Although not as good as mine as it doesn't have a mirrored scratchplate. Shiny.
