Thanks eBay.

After reading the "stuff you hate to hear non-bassists say" threads on here, I thought this might be of interest. It was on the main page of eBay Australia and take note of the instruments. Trumpet with trumpet, piano with piano, amp with amp...... bass with electric guitar. How nice of them.

Well - maybe it is actually a new (and until now top secret) Fender 6-string bass guitar. Maybe it is really time for innovation in this seemingly very conservative company. Maybe the Aussies are better informed than we are.

Looks like we must revert back to the double bass to be called BASSISTs with respect.
