Previously Owned Gear

I have owned and played fenders of the lower quality and they're not much better than their Squier counterparts (which I favor) if you're gonna go fender, go American. I had a starter b.c. Rich bronze series warlock, the hard ware was good but the wood was not, the neck cracked from weathering just in my bedroom. But I turned the body into my own design in woods class.

G.A.S. List

A giant orange amp rig with mark bass cabs hah, along with this beautiful fender custom shop I've pondered on. A 77' jazz bass with a 72' maple neck. Maple freeboard with pearl block inlays along with my signature and the bulls logo under the fender headstock, then tune it all down witha vintage nitrellouse shell pink finish cream colored pickgaurd with the metal pickup covers of course, no active electronics for me. A Tony Franklin fretless precision would be nice too (:
