Trying to decide between basses

Gear

They smell a little bit like the handles of screw drivers with transparent grips :face_with_raised_eyebrow: (These: PB 190)

A mix between metal and something synthetic. I’m not sure if the strings or the fretboard smells, I didn’t catch it in the shop but at home it bothers me :sweat_smile: Looks like I need to order some fretboard cleaning stuff and probably new strings.

Machine oil maybe?

Oh yeah. Gotta change the oil in your bass every three thousand notes.

Now that you said it I’ve seen the service light go on. Wasn’t aware that the bass already got that many notes in in the shop. Outrageous :joy:

yes I’m so happy that I bought this one despite it being a little bit over the budget - I just love it :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: did you also just get a new bass? I read something in another thread but not sure anymore which Andrea :sweat_smile:

Sounds like christmas came early :laughing: what basses did you get?

Yeah, kinda :blush: It’s a Squire and a Harley Benton. There will be a post in the Show us your basses-thread soon. It has been overdue before with one bass, but now with three :zany_face:

@Al1885 can you please explain the rules for owning multiple basses? In light of my recent antics, I’d hate to think I haven’t complied.

The rule about owning multiple basses is that the correct number of basses to own is always one more than you currently own.

Too bad we don’t have signatures in this forum… That quote would be one I would try to claim as my own. Thank you for making me laugh today @Vader!

I was looking for that one way back before I went away. I would still like one. I had the 5 in that color snd really liked the look and feel, but I decided to get rid of all my 5strings and just keep my 4’s. Thats why I was looking for a 4. I has s really nice LTD too that I wanted to love, but Zi just am not much into 5’s. Maybe someday ?

Perhaps! I find it useful to have at least one 5-string.
