Expensive Mexican

I just saw a $900 MIM Fender P/J at Guitar Center. It looked cool... but not that cool. I couldn't see spending that amount of cash unless it's an American Fender.
The top tier Mexican Fenders are excellent basses. Just as good as the Americans, IMO. The only thing really missing is the graphite reinforcement.

Your better off. By the time those gals reach 33, they plump up like ball park franks. It's just a cruel side of genetics.

When Panama red first hit the streets here in about 69' a "friend" brought in 20 kilos. Then a rival "guy" ripped him off and sold most of it. Of course "friend" found out, hired retired Football "players" to hold "guy" at gunpoint for return payment. A brand new Camaro SS title was signed over to "friend" which we drove around in all summer. Ah those were the days, the summer of 69'! And you kids thought you were having fun. Hahahaha

Yes indeed. ...but I gave up drugs a good while back. ...gave up pillaging and plundering too... :)

Back on-topic, I have some Mex Teles that are very good instruments, IMHO.
