Hello from Prescott, AZ - NBD

[rebellovw]

Hello - my name is Chris and have been playing guitar for a few years - trying to get better - working with a great teacher. Always thought about the bass as my childhood best friend had a Gibson Ripper and I had an Epiphone Scroll guitar at the time (guitars you could buy new at the local music store with a paper route back in the late 70's.)

Looking into it - seems a Bass will only help my guitar playing.

I just bought my first Bass and Amp a few minutes ago (Sweetwater):
Squier Classic Vibe '60s Precision Bass - Olympic White
Rumble 40

I really wrestled with either the Fender Player Series or an American built Fender - but decided to be practical and save a few hundred bucks with the Squire. It is a beautiful guitar. Classic Vibe's seem to have a great reputation.

I have a great setup guy I'll likely use.

Thanks.

It is a pretty lovely looking bass:

I showed my wife it and the Fender Player (Polar white/Pau Ferro) - she likes the Squire much more. We both like the off white, fingerboard coloring and headstock (darker.) She even likes the pick guard that I want to immediately replace with a white one - but now I'm liking it too.

I keep flip flopping. Anyhow - I'll check it out when it arrives and then decide. I'm glad I bought it from SW.

It is Friday - have a great weekend all!
