Fender Rumble Club

I just can’t say enough about my American Performer 2018 Mustang @Black Out Jazz ...

I actually liked my $300 Gretsch Jr Jet better than either of the way more expensive basses and neith one of those expensive basses held a candle to my $1,200 Mustang. Beautiful finish. Sounds great. Awesome neck. Comfortable to hold. Love the pick guard.

Of course to each his own. And EVERY bass/guitar is different with its own character and feel so maybe I just got 2 “bad” ones but in the end I’m happy with these two. Maybe someday if I hold a P-bass in my hands that sings to me like the mid 70s one I had back in the day or the Jazz I had in the early 90s I’ll grab it but I’m staying with these…..
I was days away from buying an MIA Mustang when G&L released a Fullerton Deluxe Fallout shorty in burst (couldn't bring myself to buy the first release with the racing strip). Purchased one straightaway. Love it. Only got to play it for a short time when I had to pack everything up for the shipper. It's currently on a ship due in Rotterdam in two days. I don't know when I'll have it back in my hands here in the southwest of France, but it's getting close. Starting to drool all over again. Had to sell my Rumbles (120 VAC only). Going to buy a Studio 40 to get by on while renting, until my house is completed (6 more months; sigh).

Here's hoping everything survives the trip.:thumbsup:

That’s a beautiful bass. Love the shape of the pick guard. Those G&L bridges are awesome. Happy days ahead. Hang in there. I hear they have good wine in the south of France. That should distract you enough until she arrives!

Bueños dias, señor Maartien¡ I trust you'll be Rumbling again soon, as we all love to do. :smug:

Best wishes for your successful resettlement! :thumbsup:

Sadly, I lost the ability to metabolize alcohol over 4 years ago. One glass of wine would give me a CRUSHINGLY PAINFUL 48 hour headache. Haven't had a drop since. On the bright side, I have a LOT more money left over at the end of the month. :hyper:
 
This ain't no stinkin democracy! Pic or no number!


Errr...right?

G-Dog, he's right you know. You've been calling the shots long enough to have the POWER to direct the club as it should be. You, and myself know how clubs go. Do what's right.

I took over doing The SG-EB Bass Club!, a while back, and stayed with the rules the originator laid down back in Nov. of 2014. Pissed some folks off, but that's the way the bullet ricochets. If there's no PIC rule, it's open for you to use your discretion on that, or any other unwritten club rule.
