Thanks brother. What's really cool about it is that in many lighting situations it looks purple. I get many compliments every time people hear and see her, more people have thought she's purple than blue!
At first it used to bother me. I just got what I thought was a spectacular blue bass and people kept saying to me 'I love that purple bass'. The night that picture was taken my guitar player said 'hey, it looks blue tonight!' Marcel told me they use some purple pigment in their blue to get that shade. I guess it's almost like having two bases in one
I just love the look of the wood pore option or whatever it’s called.
How can you possibly have GAS with those in your possession?
That’s fair... they are truly all I want to play.
You’re one short of the FBass Collection. I don’t see an AC6 on the wall.
I completely relate.
@BassJuju By the way, is your wall a music staff with a bass clef?
I too feel that pain, especially when considering that AC6.
Yes, hand painted even. Took a lot longer than I anticipated.
I added a little flair to the closet doors too.
Outstanding!I don’t have that level of artistic talent.
It was fun and, with paint, you can always start over.
Outstanding! I'm happy that you're giving her a good home and family. Couldn't have worked out any better.
Can I get your (and anyone else who may be reading this) opinion?
If someone already owns a pj, does it make sense on a practical level to also buy a jj?
So, opinions are well... you know. For me, I like the JJ config as I have 3 of them. Although, there is really only one that sees significant play time and that is the VF in the photo above. I had a Fender P/J that I liked a lot, but traded it when I bought the BN6. I will say that there are those that swear by that P Bass tone and that pickup is probably the only way to truly get it. For me, I can get close enough with just the neck pickup on my J's or BN's for that matter. For these reasons I have not replaced the "P" in my arsenal. I can also say that the VF5 pups are dead silent when solo'd. It has the Aggie HC J's in it. The BN is silent as well with hum canceling enabled. Hum from some single coils, especially when solo'd is a big annoyance for me.
Practical.... hmmm... Since I have 3 jazz basses, 2 fretless... you get the idea, I am not sure I know what that has to do with it.
Apparently my answer will always be, Yes!! You need a P/J to have that tone. Or, a BN so you can truly have the best of both worlds!Hope that helps.
So if I'm reading you right you're saying a VFPJ and a BN should have me covered. Although adding a VFJJ would be nice, it's more of an added luxury than a practical solution to address a need? Please correct me if I'm wrong.So, opinions are well... you know. For me, I like the JJ config as I have 3 of them.
