NBD - Aztec gold Precision..."anniversary edition".

The bass is super nice, and the 20 year birthday is a BFD in my book, so congratulations! I’ll have been a friend of Bill’s for 22 years come May 1st and I’m now sitting here wondering if I can use your post to convince my wife that I should be able to get another bass. How would you feel about writing her a note saying it’s critical to my sobriety? ;)
 
So I just had to do this. It was my 20th year of sobriety in January and my yearly anniversary is my "pass" for a new bass.;) This was the one. I can't say enough good things about it. I thought my '58 AVRI P was the one I would get buried with but now I'm not so sure. I apologize in advance for the dang flash photography, but it's dark out so just trust me...it's lovely. The color I've seen everywhere on line is waaay yellow compared to the actual deal so I did the best I could without natural light. Amazingly easy set up, super low and silky! Fit and finish is top notch, neck is just right on the official "chunk-o-meter" so not too fat, not too thin... substantial C. Got it set up, played it for an hour or so then went to E.R. to get infected finger (unrelated injury) drained and a tetanus shot...but it was the best hour EVER! Life's funny sometimes.

Anyway, here.View attachment 3743213 View attachment 3743214 View attachment 3743215

Very nice. Make sure you keep a look out for blood poisoning, that’s one heck of an infection. Playing with 3 fingers isn’t as much fun.

I bought a used bass online that came in a metallic gold finish, and I was very hesitant about the color... until it arrived. It's different, but man does it make a good impression! Congratulations!

Here's mine, btw:

Be sure to use antispetic on your strings!
