I took off from the day-gig a little early today to do a little gallivanting. I stopped by a pawn shop that used to have a decent selection of stuff, but the choices were slim today. They did have two p-basses: A newer Chinese Squier, with a jazz-style neck (and the tiniest frets I have ever seen on any fretted instrument, but it did have flats) and an old Stinger copy in surprisingly good shape (better frets than the Squier, straight and more chunky p-ish neck, solid tuners, decent bridge). Both worked when played through the little practice amp there. Not that I need another bass, but at the asking prices (really cheap), well, you know the story...
