gotta say for $230 this is a hell of a bass (thus far). just put on NYXL strings, need to do a setup later on.

So the trade was made last Saturday, and I canā€™t help but think that I got the better part of that dealā€¦ The Classic Vibe is a sweet, sweet bass. Looks great, sounds great, plays great. Had to give it a thorough clean, because the previous owner (who plays in several bands) was obviously using it as a work horse, and didnā€™t care about its looks that much. It was pretty filthy, but it cleaned up very nicely.

Setup is actually very decent, so I left that as is. Intonation on the other hand was a mess, with all saddles essentially maxed out and on the verge of falling off their screws. After fixing that and playing it some today, I think Iā€™ll try to lower the action a little bit further. All in all, Iā€™m very happy with it!

Sorry, no photos yet :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

They have them attached to phones now. Maybe see if yours has one :wink:

Unless you only have 3310ā€™s in Holland in which case, sorry my bad! I wasnā€™t trying to phone shame you.

3310

Nokia still makes those! But they added a camera (and better display).

Yeah, I knew I was asking for that :rofl: My phone does have a camera, itā€™s just that I havenā€™t had the time to take pictures yet, between all the bass playing, football/soccer world cup watching and Christmas tree decorating. Plus thereā€™s hardly any decent daylight over here these days. Anyway, youā€™ll just have to be patient :wink:

Looks very nice Mike! Take it outside :joy:

Got a similar J but my fretboard is maple. I got mine as a tribute for Henry Vrienten who loved white jazz basses.

I have mostly blacked out these terrible memories as well. Apparently back in the dark ages, people actually used phones for talking.

Can you believe it? What a terrible idea. Everyone knows phones are for chat apps and shitposting.

Lol. I was watching the Matrix with my kids the other day my oldest asked me whatā€™s that sliding thing he threw in the trash can. I said a Nokia phone, lol.
