MAAAAA!!When I got back from the Army in '72, my '63 Fender Jazz and '64 brownface Bassman were gone. My mother GAVE them away. Along with my Farfisa Mini.

I appreciate that, but since it's Guy's band and he sets up a lot more[stuff]than the Driftwoods do, IDK if I'd have an outlet available-or time to f---* with it.

Hey GP! Thanks for YOUR service as well!
Best of luck with three-in-a-row gigs coming up.
Thanks. Four years Navy, but I came home-unlike a lot of those yesterday was set aside to remember.
AFA, 3 nights of gigs. I used to do 6 nights a week. Just not in this century.

My senior dog has 10pm locked in his little atomic clock brain. Let me out. Give me a treat. See ya in the morning.
And I'm right behind him!
Yeah, if we/I start picking up some gigs(it figures things open up as our 'season' ends-), I'm gonna hafta break down and get an "El Cheapo" wireless so I can hear what I sound like out front. Then again, maybe I'm better off not knowing. Hmm...
An alternative for sound checks is a mini looper pedal. The TC Electronics Ditto comes up used for 50-60 USD. With that you could record a scale or a wide ranging riff and go out, hear it around the room, adjust your amp, rinse and repeat. You can just hook it up for sound check and then put it away. At least you are not dealing with wireless interference or battery issues.
If you want to be able to walk out and about during performances, then a wireless system would obviously be better.
I posted this in a American Performer Jazz bass thread as well, but looking for opinions on this bass. Found a used one at a reasonable price. Anyone have opinions on this or other similar basses? I seem to have G.A.S.
They seem solid enough. Some people have commented they don’t like the Yosemite pickups. They’re easy enough to swap out if you don’t like them, however!
Personally, I have my eye on the Lake Placid Blue Precision Performer with the maple neck. I’d swap the pickup out for a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound.

I like the neck on the Am. Perf. P bass better than the "real" P. Less baseball bat-y. I also think the Yosemites are actually pretty nice.

Neat. Not my favorite colour scheme but I like that it's special.
Ah, yes. The Blonde R200c! I remember seeing those a few years back on L&M's site in Canada. Remanences of a by-gone era. Guess some were sold here as well. Don't know what happened to the Fender logo, though

Classic! Thanks for that
. And I am reserving "Hoser" for special occasions ."Hoser. The classic Canadian insult. Originally refers to the losers of a hockey game, who, in pre-Zamboni times, would have to hose the rink down once the game was done. Now it's a synonym for “loser” — but with a particularly Canadian flavour." There's that darn "u" again...
Like a Hilfiger T-shirt?Yes but, they should pay us for advertising their name brand, IMHO
