Bummer :(. Musicians Friend had them on sale for $599 and I had some points to burn. I’m really glad I jumped on it. It’s a great example too, with impeccable fret and nut work. I’m likely change the pickups but that’s about it. The Player series basses are very, very nice if this one is any indication of their overall quality (I know...fat chance, right?). I have to admit being a little torn between this one and the limited edition Tele bass, but I think I made the right choice. Plus, if I ever get bored I can swap necks and have a brand new bass anytime I want ;).

These are 2 of my favourite colour combinations ever. The black P looks absolutely gorgeous.
I usually hate tort but it looks ok with turquoise.

It’s time for an update: Family came altogether.
43BDEFB1-1C50-4588-BB73-46F288498DAE.jpeg

Jericho Alpha Blacker 2018
Fender Aerodyne 2014
MusicMan Stingray BFR 2011
Fender active PJ late 80‘s
Rickenbacker 4003 2008
Epiphone TB Classic 4Pro 2017
Marathon Pro 1992 (starting point)
Fame Deuce 2016
Lakland 44-64 Skyline Custom 2019
Epiphone El Capitan 1994

I have to admit, that the GAS increased drastically within the last few years. There are only a few checkpoints to clear. But in general I am pretty done.
FYI I have never ever sold a bass and I am not planning to do in the future.

Which one is your favorite?

Beautiful collection, I've been considering an Aerodyne. Any thoughts on yours ? Would be very interested.
