New Bass Day WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO

I have over the past few years, bought and sold no name brand basses and had a couple of
Ok/decent basses. For the last year I have been gigging with a Tanglewood Canyon and a 1994 Epiphone Les Paul bass. Polar opposite as far as basses go.
I have had and sold tens of pedals and had a massive H&K Basskick combo.
One day I just took one bass to rehearsal and felt a massive relief.
Not just the weight but more that I suddenly realized that to look for a bass sound, for MY bass sound, I needed to start from the bottom up and not keep chucking stuff on top.
Massive combo went to be replaced by a Hartke LH500 and a 12" hydrive cab. The pedal board and pedals went to be replaced by a big space between me and my mic, and the tangle wood and Epi went to be replaced by...........

Bought from an ebay seller called batfuk. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Happy to answer any amount of silly questions, quick, cheap, brilliant.
Tokyo to Northernspain in 3 days!

Tell him David sent you!
 
It's only the second Fender I've had the chance to play. The first was last week, a Mexican P bass. It was very underwhelming. Maybe because I thought I was going to be something special, this Japanese Aerodyne just seems flawless, and it has just arrived from the over side of the world!
 
Beautiful! I really wished we could get some of the same colors and options that are Japan only because the shipping to the States can really be pricey and then there is the worry too, but hey, I guess pricey shipping to the USA would be worth it to be the only kid on your block with a CAR Aerodyne right??;) Enjoy that beauty!
