If I was forced to buy a guitar, it would be a Gretsch.

If I were to get one I would want a semi-hollow like that. Seems the best balance.

What a lovely guitar – love Gretsch, and I love semi-hollows. And blue!

I did the same thing, picked up a Squier Strat last Saturday when my wife told me to go to Guitar Center while she had friends over for a girls day. Nothing fancy, just an inexpensive sidebar to my bass.

It’s not blue, it’s a manly gunmetal, for a manly man… okay, it’s blue.
This is going to take some practice, my sausage fingers want to touch more than one string while fretting chords. I don’t remember bass being this hard, though I’m sure it was.

Blue or gunmetal, is definitely a great-looking shade, @Wombat-metal. . . 
Cheers and wishing you lots of happy playing!

Make no mistake – fat-fingering is a time-honored guitarist tradition. That’s how we find exciting new chords.
Give it a month or two and you’ll be saying, “Oh. I guess this is easier than bass”.

Now that’s a great looking Bass.
Anybody know the reason some pick ups use two pole pieces per string

That is an amazing looking bass!

So that the string never leaves the magnetic field of the pole piece (original Fender pickups had one magnet per string and tended to drop out if the player attacked the string hard).

This is a great color. Might be my favorite fender of all time on this forum.
