Congrats from Corvallis!
There you go. Next thing I need is a nicer amp than what I have. Not sure what I want to get (when I have the cash to do it). Really liked the sound of the Markbass vintage head and 2x10 that I used at GC when making this purchase. Even though I am a Beaver, I don't love the orange color scheme particularly.Heck - we oughta have an Oregon Talkbass get together!
Thanks to all that wished me Happy Birthday, especially you fellow Oregonians!60rh birthday, thanks to my beloved wife!
Made a good choice 33 years ago!That is a thoughtful gift. You’re married to a wonderful woman (as am I)
Thank you!that's a good looking P-bass you've been gifted, @Peter - Oregon! three cheers for you, your wife, your 60th, and congratulations on your new instrument!![]()
Mostly a Rock guy.Nice P. What kind of music are you going to play with it?
Go Beavs!Congrats from Corvallis!
Almost true already!In 60 tears your wife can just give you the same bass again. You won't know the difference and will think she sprung for a vintage instrument.
I was thinking of maybe the Mercury, the Dark Night or the white. Never saw the Mercury in person and the Dark Night was not my favorite style to me. I already have a Cobra Ultra Jazz, and didn't really want another blue bass (I have three, the other being a 2004 copper 3eq Stingray). Like you, I thought the white was pretty classic and classy looking, and decided to pull the trigger.Happy Birthday! And bless your wonderful wife. That's a classy looking bass in Oly white!
Thank you. Go Beavs!Congrats from Corvallis!
I always thought NBD stood for no big deal. But New Bass ... Demo?
I do think it looks great.Congratulations! Happy birthday! And a respectful tip of the hat to your wonderful spouse as well.
Something magical about a Fender bass with a white finish and tort, isn’t there?![]()
