If someone had predicted I would buy a bass with gold hardware, I would have said it’s not gonna happen.
Never say never.

I started the course with a nice Kala Journeyman, but soon saw the limitations of learning on a uke bass. That gave me an excellent excuse to go buy this beauty. It wasn’t what I thought I was going after, but after trying out several it was the one that called to me.

Great looking bass, @shawnk . . . 
Welcome aboard and wish you good luck with it.
Stop by our “Introduce Yourself” topic and tell us a little about you!
Cheers

Traded my Carvin, got this instead:
Almost brand-new Fender Player Jazz. That’s my second Fender now, my first being a Deluxe Dimension IV. Odd that after all these years, I guess I’m becoming a “Fender guy”.

Couldn’t have made a better choice myself, @JustTim . . .
But then again, I’m a little biased

Guess that is the Tidepool color, appropriately posed by a pool!

@JustTim You don’t have to label yourself anything. Your just on a Fender kick for now. A few years ago I didn’t have any Fenders now I have six. I like them cause they are modular and up until recently well priced (and keep their value for resell but thats just me).
I pretty sure if you had money to burn you post something like a nice Fodera and then you’d be the Fodera guy.
Enjoy that beautiful blue boom stick. They are great players and get the job done.
PS I’m jealous of you Cali folk. Nice pool opened during this time of the year while I stare at 3 feet of snow outside my door.

Good deal. I like the Jazz with a maple fretboard. Now to channel your inner John Paul Jones

Exactly. The baseline that got me interested in bass.

Right!? So simple, but one of the greatest riffs ever written.

Easy, you just have to have a decent self control.
I do that ever time I have the urge.
Sadly, I fail miserably every time. Lol.

Nope, that’s what I want. I want a room full of basses.
