Thankyou Dad!

[Tom84d]

Well for Christmas i asked my dad for a bass because I didn't have one of my own and the one I always play is his. His bass is an '83 P bass in a pretty rare color so he wouldn't let me take it to college for fear of it getting damaged. I told him too look at the ibanez Sr500 and a few other not so expensive basses.

So yesterday I get a call from him asking if i am coming home soon because he has a present for me. I asked him what it was and he replied "well i will put it this way if you don't want it I do." SO, with that i went home asap (only about an hour drive)

When I got home there was a black fender case waiting for me with a bow on it and much to my surprise it contained a new MIA Fender Deluxe Jazz in Sunburst. I was pretty pumped so far i really really dig it. I will post pics later if anyone is interested.

The Honeymoon has begun!

Pictures... i will get some better ones when i go back home with all of our guitars ('83 P bass, Jazz bass, Sunburst Strat, and a '61 reissue SG)

Woo Hoo !!!

Ask Dad if he wants to adopt a Son.

 

[Tom84d]

Thanks guys i'm still in a little bit of shock. I love the tone of this thing and it is surprisingly light too. And im sure my dad would love you adopt you all haha

Sounds like it was worth the drive home...congrats. Remember the rules...no playing loud rock n' roll on it, make sure it's in its case by 10:00 every night and absolutely no scratches.

Hey man, that's fantastic! Glad you got a gift that will keep on giving and that means a lot to you.

Best wishes!

Absolutely awesome! What a great Dad...sharing the gift of music but more importantly the gift of the low end!

Awesome...thanks for sharing! Remember...don't slap her too hard and always gently caress her neck.

I wouldn't take that bass to school, you don't want any thing to happen to your first bass or at the very least get some insurance for it. get an SX or a Squire take that to school instead. Congratulations your dad is a good guy.

this is the truth! take a cheapo bass to college. you'll get many years' joy from the Fender, and i have a feeling the 08s will keep their value well.

you don't want it getting covered in beer/vomit/any of the other fluids that fly around at college. or meet that college guy, as i did, who picked up my guitar and said, 'yeah, you gotta treat them like your woman. rough!' and the proceeded to wallop 7 shades of hell out of it. it's never been the same since. and has a few strange stains on it i still can't explain...

congrats on the bass, by the way! yr dad sounds like a champ.

I agree--get a Squire Jazz or something for at school.

Well I would totally agree with you except I don't live in the dorms i have an apt with only one roommate and he would never touch any of my stuff. The only people who are allowed to play it are two of my friends that play guitar and understand about takeing care of things.
