Oops I did it again, impulse J

[basscooker]

Oh man...

Welp, TB, gotta be honest here. I couldn't decide on the P or the JV. Why not both.

NBD in a few days....

And earlier today.....

Impulse P, nbd a few days away

 

[TawodiDalonige]

I love mine.

 

[Doctor Morbius]

Just placed an impulse purchase last night. It happens.

 

[Yahboy]

Love this colour, pretty much look alike green Sadowsky J .

This fender 5 string himass bridge bring again same string spacing issue on G string which happened on Fender ultra V jazz. Too close to fret end.....

 

[basscooker]

So the P has arrived.

Here it is sitting on the neighbors porch. Gee, you wouldn't suppose in an urban neighborhood like mine the driver might want to delive $700 packages to the right address....

Someone at UPS is about to have a very bad day.

 

[basscooker]

So anyway, the impulse P to go with the previously pictured J.

Is it me, or is that G string hanging over the edge of the fingerboard?

Zoom in on the G at the nut on the green one in post #4.

I've had zero trouble thus far.

Glad you're enjoying it. Certainly a very nice looking bass.

It's a bit tight. My 90s Ibanez Soundgear I've had since new taught me all about that mess. Just spent a couple hours bonding....

Yeah a teeny bit of a bow in the neck but overall a fantastic instrument. No, it didn't arrive perfectly ready, but a little attention tomorrow with the neck and string height it'll be wonderful. No worries on the g string .

One observation, though....
The Squier Affinity I just sold actually had better action and the tone knob was more responsive.

No shade cast though. This bass will be a gem for me. I've given it the "eyes anywhere but the fretboard" test with a good sample of songs and the tones and playability are great. It will be even better tomorrow when I dive in and set it up better.

Glad you're enjoying it. I've often toyed with the idea of getting a player series and dropping a geezer into it, but every time I listen to a demo, they sound damn good as is LOL. Play it in good health my friend.
