Buy Me A Bass?!?

[Killing Floor]

Background for your assignment:

I have basses and amps and guitars and P and J and fretless and fretted and ABG and 4 and 5 string and semi hollow and active and passive. And a ton of pedals.
I have no debt aside from mortgage and that’s almost finished too. Kids college is covered and thanks to 1 academic and 1 athletic scholarship I didn’t even use what we saved for education. My car is paid for. Point is, don’t come back with savings or investment advice or you’ll receive a C-.

In September I’m getting $10,000 that’s not a commission, not a paycheck or any part of my salary. Nice problem to have, sure. And my wife doesn’t even like “stuff” let alone bass stuff. I don’t need to spend it all but I have been thinking it would be fun to get a bass that I don’t have or necessarily need but something kinda cool.

So hit me up. What should I get for No Reason?

And if y’all don’t give me any great ideas I’ll just get a Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster, bound and blocked, looks like a Jazz bass sort of. So technically it’s up to you to maintain the bass/guitar universal balance.

GO!

Status S2 headed bass, Wal or Dingwall

I suppose I will gracefully accept the C-. Still a passing grade!

Congrats on the windfall, and enjoy the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Strat. (Though those Brad Paisley Telecasters are a bit more my style...)

Me too but I’m set with Teles. But you are giving me inspiration! I don’t have a Tele with a Bigsby. So…

A+.
I really should have a Dingwall. These are good suggestions.

What is that? Bonus for the neck. A+.

I guess the question is: What Don’t you have?
I didn’t see any upright references there. I’d be looking to fill in a Electric Upright bass to this field. Maybe a Yamaha Silent Bass
SLB300 and SLB300PRO Silent Bass - Yamaha USA

These guys do some beautiful work. And yes, that neck is outstanding.

Donate $1,000 to ten different charities.

My grade: F+

Cheap P bass and the road trip of a lifetime playing it everywhere you can think of . and give it some dude at the end of the trip . Keeps the wife happy as well .
I'll take an F . Never any good at school anyway .

 

[gln1955]

Dingwall. I know, I looked on someone else's paper, so I'll take my F.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Assuming you already decided to spend it, buy your self something nice and buy your wife something shiny.

 

[TerribleTim68]

Yup, I'm in the Dingwall camp. If it was me, I'd be getting a custom Z3 5-string. Photo for example only.

 

[KevInDaBassment]

I have a guitar pick signed by Neil Giraldo.....let's start the bidding at $9,999.99

 

[theduke1]

I would suggest vintage P in the 1950s nothing newer than 55
Duke
