bass number nine!!!
It's a Fender p bass 57 reissue with maple neck...I can't wait!! Early birthday present to myself. This bass has sentimental meaning for me. It was the bass I played the first time I played with a band! here are some pics of me playing it...but will post pics soon of it when I get her home. Gonna call her Bandit.

first night ever played (above)

I look dorky but here is another pic of the bass...

I just got to get used to the fact the keys tune backward!

Congrats.

You mean the same model, or the very same bass?

aww thank you! I always look so serious when I play. I DID smile but she was slow taking the pix, I ended up with that expression..
it's the very same bass....funny thing, I brought her home, and cleaned her up and I was like "I didn't know the pick guard was gold! lol! I always saw it in the dark-and it looked off white in pics!

yes, pictures will come soon!

best I could do for now...my digital camera's batteries are dead, and the charged ones are in the room where daughter is sleeping..but here are a few that I shot with my cell phone!
My first maple neck bass! yeah!

that spot must be a reflection or something. Makes it look like a big ding on it..It has it's "road worn" dings and stuff but that isn't on it...

all the babies!
