So I just traded an unused MIM partscaster Tele for this 96 MIM P-Bass. I'm guessing its a yellowed Oly White or maybe Vintage White. Now I just gotta learn how to play the damn thing!

LOL, I've posted this at TDPRI too. Guess what they think? ;) At Strat Talk they just keep asking where the trem arm is.

Guitar but i have 4 others. This one gets no love.

I have a newer MIM Tele neck mounted to a MIM body, Wilkinson bridge, GFS pups, Fender Tuners (modern style) and standard control set up with CTS and Oak electronics. A guy wants to trade me a 96 MIM P-Bass. Would you do it? I'm thinking its a fair deal being that its a partscaster for an "as...

Just got mine today. My very first bass ever actually. Love it! Number please.

Congrats! I just picked up a CV Jazz. Fantastic instrument! I can't see any pics of yours though.

20 year guitar player, decided I wanted to learn bass. I knew I didn't want to spend a ton but still wanted something of good quality. I had my mind set on a used Fender MIM but wasn't sure whether to go P or J. So before calling any ads for used gear I decided to try out both at my fave...

New MIMs are 660 here.

Thanks for all the input. The ad was on Kijiji and there was no price specified, so I threw out $300 (most others I've seen are in the 350-400 range round my parts). He can back with 350 which I though was fair. I believe it does come with a case. My biggest concern is that, while I will...

Hi there. I am going to check out a 2006 MIM Fender Jazz bass on Saturday. I am totally new to basses but have been playing guitar for a number of years. What things should I look for when evaluating a bass. Are there any definite "walk away" signs. Guy says it's barely used and in like new...

Nobody? Please help! Thanks.

I have the opportunity to check out a mint condition '06 MIM Jazzer for $ 400 Canadian. I am brand new to bass and have heard the post '08 MIMs are in general superior to the pre '08s. Is this true? I know you have to pick and choose, try them out and such and there are dogs and winners in...

Well said. I think that's the most reasonable arguement I've heard on the subject.

Why does the finish thickness matter?
