I did a bad thing.

[Dark Horse]

I came home with yet another bass. With my health, I probably can’t tour any more. “Might” be able to do local shows in central Texas, but not guaranteed. So I didn’t have any real reason to buy the bass other than it’s a phenomenal instrument that just felt “right” in my hands.

Warmoth body and neck - swamp ash body, Birdseye maple neck
EMG Pickups /preamp - vol, blend, bass, treble
Hipshot hardware - bass , tuners
Weighs 8.5 lbs


It’s a truly awesome bass. I’m not sure if I’ll keep it, but I have a little time to decide with GC return policy. And I may end up selling a different bass to “justify” keeping this one.

Hmmm… decisions, decisions.

Naw man, let 'em pile up. The more the merrier! At least until you get above 20 or so.

The back of the neck is amazing.

I bought one of those multi piece bodies from Warmoth last night. Now I just gotta figure out why I did it and what the hell I'm gonna do with it.

Killer looking bass by the way.

I’m well over the “20” mark

This is forgivable. Passing on a 1965 Gretsch 6070 bass for $300, is not.,

Disassemble it and sell me the neck.

Problem "half" solved !

As long as you can afford it, without compromising your household, let "More Toys!" be your mantra.
Great looking bass by the way!

Sometimes it's good to have nice things just for the sake of having them. I have a Lava Lamp. It serves no purpose at all, I just like it.

When it's right, it's right

Will you starve now? if not, I see no issues here.

Gorgeous bass friend. Keep it!

Man…we are a great group of bass lovers! I love all the justifiers and enablers here.

My wife asks how many more (I have six). My response, “Just one more”.

A cowboy must have more than one pistol is my other response.

In my earlier post I did not mean to imply that I had passed on a $300 6070, although I did miss a $1000 6070 by one day. And that bass was barely an hour's drive away. And then there was the 6070 I passed on twice while I was in high school, the first time for $150 and the second for $75.

Careful. Your wife may hire that cowboy who has more than one pistol to take target practice on your six, one round for each bass.

Does there need to be any other reason? Sounds like a keeper!

You're on Talkbass. Buying a bass you don't need is not a "bad" thing, it's behavior the folks here....applaud. Mostly because, in a few weeks, one or more of us is gonna go buy something we don't need, and we want you to reciprocate. It's a social contract, a fundamental part of this enablement club.

Everyone clear on this? Good.

If every member of TalkBass traded in every one of their basses for a donor Jersey Mike's sub, world hunger could be stamped out in the blink of an eye.

 

[burgerdj]

If that’s bad, I don’t wanna be good.

 

[Fender_Bender]

If that neck is stable, and many figured necks are not, it’s a keeper as it might be difficult to find another with that figuring.

 

[PrimitiveMan]

That looks amazing, love a classic natural jazz. And rare to find an older Warmoth that is only 8.5 lbs! Bet it sounds awesome too

I'm over 70. Who knows if I'll continue to gig. So what did I do on February 28th of this year? Bought a '69 Fender Telecaster bass for close to 5 grand. And I don't really play 4 string basses anymore! I started playing that one though; it's so cool. I decided to live a little in my old age. I may not be able to take it with me, but I'll sure try to have as much fun as I can before I leave!
