Fell for another Jazz bass

drbassman · May 21, 2012, 06:11:50 AM

These are all good questions that I didn't contemplate when I bought it. Since they are obviously too complex to answer sufficiently without my head exploding

, I'm just going to muddle ahead and do my best. As for the bass, I don't even need a case. I'll just tie a string around the strap buttons and toss it over my shoulder!

Hmm... now there's a thought... buy a cheaper standard model, tie it to the rear bumper (fender to you USA folks), and go for a drive down a nice gravel road... every one guaranteed unique... I stand to make an absolute mint...

I'm not concerned. I got it cheap and do like the look. First time a relic bass has ever appealed to me!

Finally got around to some pics............

It really does sound and play really nice!

I was going to ask if that was Fiesta Red, then I took the extreme step of actually going back to the first post and reading it. Yes!

I like it, but I gotta think it's pining for a bridge cover with a big F on it.

I used to love the "big F" covers, but I didn't install the one on my CAR jazz and one didn't come with this one. I'm liking them all naked!

all kidding aside i have always liked the looks of that bass.

Thanks. I got lucky with that photo and the reflections on the chrome really set it off nicely.

I haven't played it in a while and I think I'll pull it out tonight.

Yeah, you gotta be careful about those chrome reflections...

And that is a good lookin' bass.
