Fender Jazz Bass. I love it. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

It was only $800 for the bass, a 25-watt Fender Rumble bass amp, a strap (which is already coming apart), an extended warranty, polishing cloths, a Monster cord, a Korg tuner, a stand, and a ton of Fender picks, which I don't use. I got it about two weeks ago, and I'll be playing "Fantasy" by Earth, Wind, & Fire at a school choral performance. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

I chickened out on buying a bass- spent my bass money on a high dollar cat instead.

And I have like 8 guitars upstairs I can't be bothered to learn a chord on..

In any case- that guitar is frickin beautyful. I wanted a mint green one. Didn't want it to collect dust after I got bored with it.

Go see the guitar thread for guitars, and I will tell you all...

My husband is STILL wanting me to get a bass. I still would like to have one-
NOW a white Fender like Flea's.

Talking

My dad made the necks on J-basses for several years, back in the 90s. It didn't pay well, but it was fun and can be considered a public service.

He smooth out the neck itself, shaped the headstock, stamped in frets and those little pearly dots between the frets...

Holy crap- I bought one.

I was out and about and we went into the local guitar hole(guitar gallery)
I picked a black one up, Brian said- its upside down...
I look closer- Its LEFT HANDED Holy Crap. Meant for me. Price was right, it came home.

Its a Rogue . MEH. The promise is If I learn well on it, I get a Fender Mustang bass.

Holy Snot basses are easy to play.

I screwed with it for HOURS yesterday and I have 3 songs DOWN already. My fingers are killing me.



Coolest thing ever.

Plus its a leftie~ Even cooler. Even though I had learned to correctly hold guitars correctly, I still found a leftie. Meant to be mine.

I discovered quite by accident when playing tequila sunrise with Brian The eagles ripped off otis Redding.
The bass line is the SAME as Dock of the bay,only played slower.

I have these down:
breakdown- all the way through.
Walk the line
Walking the bass line
Dock of the bay(just the beginning)
I am working on Money.
Layla (acoustic)

I tried out Detroit rock City, but my poor little fingers are a LOT slower than Gene simmons are so I can't make it sound the same.

I took a peek at Dani California, I think I would have to sell my soul to the debbil to make it sing like Flea does..
