Well... I made a crazy purchase this week. I bought this beautiful bass from TB brother @sonicyogi this week. My son jumped on it to play some Nirvana ;)

Just a beautifully crafted bass with a wonderful p bass tone (EMG GZR pups - still undecided if I'm gonna put the original Aguilar pups yet). So easy to play all over the neck.

I currently have a Fender Franken-p (mim body, mij neck, badass bridge, SD quarterpound), but was never fully satisfied. I will keep it for rock duty in hostile environments ;)

I feel lucky to be able to afford this expensive bass, and lucky to have enough gigs to pay for it even if I'm only a weekend warrior. They say the tone is in the fingers. I can't blame the bass anymore.

Cheers!

Congratulations to you and your son. Enjoy your new Monarch-P. They are really excellent instruments.
