NBD: My first one in 20 years

[JoshS]

Cool, congrats man!

 

[BB Brian]

Very nice and fine color. You mentioned practice amp, do you have a larger rig to play it through?

No. I won't until after Christmas. I have to save my pennies. And dimes. Lots of dimes.

And a big thank you to everyone congratulating and saying enjoy it. I am loving it.

 

[SunByrne]

Quite a journey for you... I'm glad you finally got there, and I'm glad that Sweetwater did not disappoint.

Congrats and enjoy!

 

[Kipp Harrington]

Nice purchase. Never played one bit I'm sure it's in my future. Like the maple fretboard. Enjoy!

 

[WillyW]

That’s pretty sharp and worth waiting 20 years for.


The title of my thread would read “My first 20 basses in a year”.

Sweet Jag!! Congratulations!!

 

[Blueinred]

One of my best friends got one of these, different finish. It sounds awesome, and I don't say that unless i mean it. Great tone. Congrats and enjoy!

 

[darwin-bass]

Wait, this is your first new bass in 20 years? And you picked ONE OF THOSE?


Nicely done! I love it.

I asked for advice from you kind people a couple of times about many different things. Thank you all who commented, advised, and read the threads. The bass actually arrived yesterday, but we had dinner guests and I could not set it up and play it right away. Now, it is set up wonderfully and it looks, plays, and sounds amazing, even through a crummy practice amp. Here she is!

Sweetwater was awesome to order from. my Sales Engineer, Jack, spent 44 minutes on the phone with me, answered every question I had and I never felt like he was rushing me trying to get a sale. I am really happy with the bass and the whole experience. Thanks to all who helped me! I love this thing already.

Wow, this took me by surprise!! Looks great, glad it plays well!! Congrats!!

[MAJOR METAL]

Congrats, all the best with it!

...we had dinner guests and I could not set it up and play it right away.

"Honey, let's go to bed, our guests want to go home."

 

[John Webb]

At first I thought it was a PJ...but no....it must be a JP?....nono......it's a Jag baby!

 

[Diamond_Dave]

Lake Placid Blue? Same color as my jazz and my fave. Rock that bad boy! Very happy for you--enjoy.

 

[FrenchBassQC]

Bella mucho bella... Now go play it...

 

[dalkowski]

A looker, fer sure. The Jag is growing on me. How well balanced is it (weight not tone)?
