But he switched to a J, not to a P!

hmm yes, i think you’re correct. i was thinking more along the rick to fender lines. if you DON’T have it and your a fan the book is amazing, and not too pricey on kindle.

I’m proud of myself.
Today, I withstood the temptation to aim my wallet at this Cort P/J.

It has Samick written all over it – it’s made in Indonesia, and using the same bridge, the same fretboard and the same tuners as my Gregg Bennett Fairlane.
Should be a nice bass, and at 80 euros it’s probably a steal.

But I just bought a zoom multieffect thingy, and on top of that, my wall is filled to capacity.

Ha-ha . . . I like the way you put that, @peterhuppertz

“aim my wallet” at it . . .

Thanks, I needed that

Peter could you not get a bigger wall?

I’ve been looking at the Orange o bass for a little while. Brightish sounding p bass with a LP body.

What I didn’t know is that they do them in orange. Really bright orange.

I love the colour orange. I really do.

Can we see where this is going?

I may or may not have already made room for it!!

Oh dear.

peterhuppertz · May 2, 2020, 2:14pm

I might. I’d have to re-arrange the room, but it’s possible.
However, in an effort of self-preservation, I’m just being terribly mature about this.

How boring. I know.

quadfather · May 2, 2020, 2:19pm

It sounds like it’s on your mind though You know what it’s like when it gets in your mind…

Aaaaaand I’ve bought that orange bass!!!

Jamietashi · May 2, 2020, 2:20pm

Peter, these brackets allow three bass in the space of one bass.

peterhuppertz · May 2, 2020, 2:23pm

I’d keep hitting my head against my own instruments.

peterhuppertz · May 2, 2020, 2:25pm

Yes. It’s usually followed by the sound of a little vortex in the drain that is your bank account.

quadfather · May 2, 2020, 2:29pm

Haha yes I know that follow up thought too.

But my mind will rationalize it insanely. For instance, I thought I’d better not etc, and left it.

And then 20 minutes later, this thought pops into my head - “Hey, but think about it, you’re not spending money at the pub, you’re not spending money on fuel for the car, lockdown could last for ages, there was only 2 in stock (admit this one was weak), you might as well dive into the hobby you love the most”

And then I click, “place order”

peterhuppertz · May 2, 2020, 2:38pm

Soooooo recognisable.

But I’m not biting. No sir. I am strong, I can resist this. Hnnngnn.

Jazzbass19 · May 2, 2020, 2:42pm

Nobody can fault logic like that . . . .

peterhuppertz · May 2, 2020, 2:44pm

I am willing to bet that every married man is acutely aware that it can be faulted.

quadfather · May 2, 2020, 2:48pm

Oh yeah, agreed. But I’m single at the moment so insane logic is winning hands down at the moment. It’s pointless for me to even attempt resistance

Jazzbass19 · May 2, 2020, 2:57pm

I beg to differ, @quadfather . . . there is nothing at all “insane” about your logic. In fact, it is among the most rational reasoning I’ve seen on these boards.

Cheers, Joe

peterhuppertz · May 2, 2020, 2:59pm

You, sir, clearly are not an accountant.

quadfather · May 2, 2020, 3:02pm

Well, petrol and pub is more than £300 a month for me, so I’m effectively saving money
