2-3 years ago I picked up an acoustic bass. I figured now that I could play bass a little I would get something so that I could go out and play with people. So I got it, played it for a few weeks to get the feel of it and set it on a stand, ready to go jam.... and never played it again. Turns out I like dont like going out, and people are not very high up on the list either. Since I had been getting the urge to try guitar again i took it up to guitar center. Got a fair price for it, plus it was enough to cover a nice little starter guitar... doesnt exactly match my bass but I like the look of it. and yes the stickers and plastic coating are still on it
:)

Nice...

what kind of Jazz bass is that? I don't think I've ever seen that kind of fretboard inlay. Dig the color.

I've always wanted an electric guitar.
So I bought an acoustic, then became an electrician.
Oh well. 6 dozen of one, half the other.

What kind of guitar? I know it's a fender and looks similar to a telecaster but not quite??

That's what I figured. I have the bullet strat. Really good deal with a fender amp. It will serve you well

yeah with how great of a price they were I did not mind spending the 30 extra bucks for the rosewood fret version.

Really was never a fan either, but I'm a huge Mike Watt fan. I originally wanted an old Gibson EB3, but after playing one of these
I was hooked. It's got a thunderous tone and at only 6.5 pounds there's almost no fatigue or back pain. Especially when I throw it on
after playing one on my early 80's Ibanez Musician basses that come in at over 10lbs. I've since paid more attention to their company
and have really warmed up to them...they're a good outfit.

That's definitely light. My Rick is 9. A Reverend is on my radar for when I buy a big boy electric guitar. Other than im dreaming of a vintage Gibson Grabber right now.

I had a bit of a bad experience at Guitar Center the other day but they’re throwing deals left and right at the moment. If you’re in for another, talk to them on the phone. They’re about to go into administration.

Sure, I see the beauty in them. I'm not saying It's ugly for sure but just weird that they haven't changed the way they look one bit since the seventies.
