Last bass type purchase.......almost 2 years ago......a new Fender AVII '54 P Bass.

I had no business buying this bass. It was an impulse buy and no fooling, in the near 2 years of ownership, I've played it less than 15 mins.

It's not that I don't like it but I am 73 years old now, have about 14 basses already and it was irresponsible for me to buy it.

I've had it up for sell but everybody is broke.

Anyway, it is a beauty and weighs a hair less than 8.5 lbs.

My first set of TI Jazz flats strings.

Put em on my back-up bass, a Fender Jazz Elite.

Noodling around the house, LOVE em!

Used them for one set on a couple of jobs with the band over last weekend.....so far, the jury is still out, but, I don't think they're gonna work for me in a live band setting.

I love those basses. I tracked one down just so I could play it and compare it to my real 1964 P. Surprised that Fender got it so close to the real deal. I didn’t buy it though. I might grab the 1960 AVII though.
