So- went to GC to pick up a SM57 mic, yesterday, and checked out basses (of course )- saw this Player series P- said to wifey: ‘this feels really light... would be comfy for my back’... like I need another P bass ! This morning wifey sez: ‘why don’t I buy if for you- for Valentines Day’?!? I ‘accepted’!!! Just returned home (needs a setup, etc., badly)... Got a few $ off & tried to get a gig bag (or something) thrown in... my guy check in the back & returns with a Fender (C&G) hard case... It is for a Jazz & I only use gig bags... but I took it- will sell (or donate) at some point {} {} {}
Thx- I’m just super-excited bout the weight!! all my basses go thru ‘rigorous’ mods... will be working on that in the coming weeks (hours ). My Sonic Blue restore/refin may get parted-out... could ‘pinch’ the Tort from it?!? hmmm
Super nice weight! WOW! You know that you can probably "flip" it and turn a profit. A premium weight worth some money!
great move to accept her generosity! wow, that's a nice looking ax! beautiful! i get the 'tort appreciation' but that ax doesn't need anything to say "i'm a player." congratulations on your lucky accident, your thoughtful wife, and of course: your new instrument!
Thx!! hehe- me thinks it would be quite ‘un-husbandly’ to say ‘no’... right! a few (quick) mods... tort guard, SD QP pup & Amer Dlx bridge (has the 3 slots, for width adj) which I put on all my basses {}
Yup- just applied some... it is Pau Ferro- which tends to be a lighter shade Just got EB Cobalt flats installed and action & intonation set... {}
Don't you hate when that happens? Last year I went into a local guitar store to get a XLR cable, came home with the cable and a 5 string bass.
Nice, I just bought a bass a couple of weeks ago and was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived to find that it weighs in at about 6.8 lbs.
