Another of the Fenders -
2003 Roscoe Beck IV. Lot of great tonal options in this one. Stock D-tuner. Still has plastic on the PG.

Played one of the blue and maple ones... fantastic! I didn't love the neck because it seemed narrow and fat. I like wide and fat or narrow or skinny (more the first tho). It wasn't uncomfortable but not something I love, ya know? Anyways I'd sure as hell sacrifice having that neck to have the bass, to get that tone! Well tones lol that thing has so many tones and all of em sound good!

You sir are lucky

Edit: oh and tightest droped d string ever!

oh yeh thats what im talking about these easily kick fender basses ass

thanks, but no they don't..most of them are FAR FROM a Fender..worse/better? heck no...just different

 

[Mr Aaron_666]

yeh they are different and better in my opinion i just hate fenders personaly they are much more interesting to look at haha

most people would disagree. They like em better with a pickguard to offset the "plain" look and especially the s.b. colors Fender offers that Jackson never did.

Anyone who has multiples of a certain brand will say the same thing because they "like" what they like..regardless of the brand

( I'm defending the Fender Lovers a little because we all love what we love )

 

[Mr Aaron_666]

yeh i know each to their own man but personaly ive played alot of fenders and they are not my cup of tea tbh but still they are a very known brand

Just picked up the MIM Fretless today for just over 300. I wanted a "trainig wheel" fretless.

Does that '83 Jazz have a bound board? It really looks like it.

Two music man basses, one with a whammy bar and my ATK bass from the 90's.

I think I remember reading that you referred to the ATK as the Apple bass, which was quite fitting at the time. I guess now it'd have to be a chrome bass, but that would also be pretty cool

Nice basses indeed

b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l trio, reminds me of this show, and if those basses were late 60's they would fit perfectly

The blue bass that is the second one in on the left side, is that exact bass that I used to have down to the color. I kind of miss that bass sometimes.

I got that one from a guy here on the CL. That blue is very hard color to find BUT....

as a incentive, find me the "non-existent" green 2b or 3b for a reasonable price and I'll buy it, AND give you the blue one as a finders fee.

Nice Ibby.

Thanks, sounded like crap though, so I put in a preamp off eBay. It was the exact bass I wanted when I first started playing, and when I saw it on the Bay for $200... couldn't pass it up. Super low action, bit of a neck dive though.
