    Best and worst gear purchase of 2014

    Only 4 purchases this year and they all fall under best. American standard P bass. 2012 and 2013 Select Jazz basses. And (still musical but not a bass) Taylor 314c Grand Auditorium Guitar. There is no worst in this lot.

    My thoughts....

    Well the fender haters are going to have a cow and it's been said before here on TB, but Leo got it right the first time. The instrument in all its variations over the years still does what it's meant to do, be it active, passive, precision, jazz, 5 string, 6 string, lightweight, etc. others...

    How long does your bass stay in tune?

    If yours I going out of tune more often you may need to look at your overall set up. Or something as simple as the way you restring your bass.

    Still own your first bass?

    Yep. Still got it. An '80's Washburn B2. Looks like the board needs a little oil. Still dig the 80's hair band pointy headstock.

    Does anyone else hate this forum?

    I completely agree with Rich. But fair warning to the youngun's here. Only if you can afford it. And afford DOES NOT mean CREDIT! I've been there, done that, and paid enough interest to have a custom Alembic. I'm debt free now but TB can cause extra GAS. Read with caution. I only scold...

    Relic or Road Worn....Like it? Hate it?

    Probably the best answer to this guestion I've seen. Yes I like a natural well played look. I'd wager Not too many of us are going to have one that long to get that look.

    What is the most recent bass youve bought?

    Looking at the pics before I'd say 2014 has been good to all of us. And I liked my 2012 Select jazz so much, I bought the active 2013 version last week. Brand new at $1299.00 I couldn't pass it up.

    Fender Select.......

    And if your buying sight unseen fear not, I bought my new baby off eBay from the bass place. It came brand new in the fender box and ready to roll. And at a ridiculous 1299.00. That's a thousand off retail and the same price as an American standard. I couldn't pass it up. A Select for...
