GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 1)

Recently sold a Fender tube amp and sensibly reinvested the money in a Kala Journeyman U Bass. Ordered some flat wounds and on @John_E’s advice a set of thumb rests.
Looking forward to playing some Reggae for my dog on the couch (I read some study that dogs favourite genre of music is Reggae. Who knew?)

Nice bass, wonder how it plays and sounds. I got three metal-dogs :smile: they grew up with AC/DC, Dio and Iron Maiden

I don’t have dogs, but I do have three kids. My two younger ones are rock-steady Iron Maiden fans. My youngest loves to dance to Losferwords. My middle one adores Fear of the Dark.

Well it sounds pretty good plugged in. Acoustically it’ll be garbage, that’s why the double bass still exists.

@John_E it’s been on my radar for months but, I wanted to sell my spare Amp before buying it and selling stuff locally always takes longer.

I like the face expression of the bass player most ,-)

Very cool, @Barney . . . :sunglasses: How does he seem to like it ? Does he wag his tail a certain way, or bob his head, or what? :thinking:

Cheers and good luck,
Joe

I agree. It has a bite to the notes that is very nice.

Finally I got in to some BFR. Except for the extra string, it has everything I love about Music Man. January delivery but there’s a small rumor that it would arrive by Christmas.

I present to you.

Best Neck Prize.
Holy crap that is cool, and you could memorize the pattern to know where the notes are in the woodgrain :rofl:

BFR quality is seriously off the charts amazing
