Very interesting bass @Turner

I really like that look for the P bass. I actually was not aware of that style of P bass until just last week (I have not followed much of fender history for Bass guitar) and I saw one on Offer Up, for not very much, like $180. It was a Squire of course.
I did not know that was a real thing, and I was wondering if somebody just put a squire neck on some crazy no name body.
but then I looked it up, and sure enough, it is a Squire re-issue P-bass.
very cool looking, and unique for a P-bass, compared to most peoples mindset then they think P-bass.
I have added a P bass to the top of my list for bass to get, and I have now added that one to the top of my P-bass choices. I really do like the look.
It is like a cross between a P-bass and a Telecaster.

This is sad. He doesn’t need to play a fakely reliced boutique bass. He has plenty of beat-to-sh*t basses of his own.
And also why is he playing Clash tunes?

when i went in to chicago music exchange the other day i did see a few reliced fender guitars that i actually thought looked pretty good. it was the first time i ever liked a reliced anything. that having been said, i still think the overall idea is stupid. my wife asked me about it, and i told her relicing was paying somebody $1000 dollars extra to throw your bass down some stairs and drag it behind their car.

Lol yes.
I would love to hear Mick Jones comment on Sting playing London Calling.

Nice bass but that is one helluva tasty looking valve amp you have there and what can only be described as an extremely vintage looking pedal on top of that Fender cab

Ah I must have forgot to switch back to this parallel universe!
(I was thinking “Message in a bottle” but some how wrote “London Calling”… I learned all about these songs at the same time period only AFTER I started learning the bass… Sadly so!)

and I understand these words too… but putting them next to each other like that - you lost me.

then you might not remember sting telling us all his somewhat creepy and downright masochistic practice of being able to have sex for 6 hours straight without any happy ending.

@howard @T_dub So it seems “The Real London Calling Bass” was a more familiar design after all.
This one is only slightly more used than Sting’s
Some duct tape and it is good to go! Even would fit on an over head compartment in planes!

Can do! I don’t have wooden bass to compare with so scientifically speaking there won’t be a ‘control group’ but give me a week and a half to finish the final three modules on BtB and posting a recording of something can be my own personal ‘graduation ceremony’.

Thanks! It’s for my guitars - a Port City Pearl, 50w single channel head with a Dr Z ‘Z Best’ 2x12 cab. Really nice to run pedals through. The very beat up looking pedal is only slightly beat up (battery cover missing) - it’s a DOD Meatbox, a subharmonic synth that’s meant to look like a hunk of meat (complete with fly stickers):
It’s pretty gnarly, though the tiny little fender rumble can’t handle it, so it’s currently off the board.
