I have played the Dean Neon Green bass just out of curiosity, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it played and how good it sounded. Very comfortable and inexpensive! Now to your other questions... Too old? Not at all. I am 60 and gig every week. I just bought a new guitar this week- (can’t...

Yup I enjoy the tone of this bass. The neck on mine does require frequent truss rod adjustments. But the tone is worth it. I carried this and an American Jazz Bass to a gig Friday night. The Jazz was playing better but the tone of the California Series was just perfect for the band I was playing...

I have a 97 P Bass with the same problem. I love the way it sounds and looks, but I have to loosen and retighten the rod every week or so. It’s a pain. I don’t have this issue with my other Basses. There is a Facebook group called “Dave’s World of fun Stuff.” It has about 7000 members. Most of...

The Classic Vibes are great instruments. I personally tracked down the 60s Classic Vibe P Bass and paid more than the bass costed when it was new. I also have an American Jazz and American P J Bass. The feel of the Classic Vibe beats them all. My son has a Fender Mustang PJ bass. Smaller scale...

I hunted one down because of its reputation- It really plays nicely!

Very nice, indeed! :bassist:

I hear you, man! There is something addictive about this bass. I have 3 other good ones, but something about the Cali Series makes me pick it up when it's time to gig. I can change the tone from one song to another. I can dial in something different that works well from song to song. I also use...

I found one this year for $600. Sounds great, plays nicely, cool looking retro vibe, USA 1997. I was debating on whether to take this or the Jazz Bass to the gig last night. Guess I am a sucker for the the deep p bass and Ampeg combination.

Some folks actually use picks when they play bass, and search for a variety of colors in their attack.

I am still trying to decide. I am a modern sounding P Bass kinda guy. I have a PJ Bass with D'Addario rounds, and I love the tone of that. I never new these strings could feel soooo good on the fingers, and yet change the tone to something different. I guess it boils down to being a different...

very cool! Thank you!

I ran into an 80-year-old bass player at Guitar Center the other day. We were both looking at, and trying out basses. After a while he told me the only way he played was if he had a felt pick made for bass players. I had never heard of one. I actually thought he was pulling my leg. But then he...

You guys were right!
