Decided not to spend it on guns this round. I got a really good deal on this beauty. This is my first Fender and my first real, quality, non-imported bass.

Might pick up a pedal but gotta cheap wireless unit, Joyo JW-03. Works great for farting around at home.

Congratulations that's an awesome looking bass!
I did spring for a Gretsch Corvette that I'm loving. I can't figure out why it seems to play so much better than my PRS Santana SE or my Starcaster. The neck on the PRS feels almost the same shape, size, etc. But there seems to be a huge difference. It's like I can actually comfortably play it with ease. Not so much the others. |

A portion of mine is getting set aside for the day when my reserved Dingwall NG-3 6-string arrives at my dealer.

Nice bass OP, I've been waiting to spend money on a guitar announced winter namm 2020, Ibanez just isn't shipping em to small dealers that fast.

My stimmy is going right back to Uncle Joe to pay my stupid fucking taxes, but I did spend some $$ on parts for a new strat build.

Nice bass, OP.
If anyone's interested in quiet practice, I think the Nux Mighty Plug is pretty sweet. It's a headphone amp with modeling for both guitar and bass. I haven't tried the bass models yet but the guitar ones are pretty cool. I used it on a recent trip and I was glad to have it since I'd lugged my Pod Go but forgot some key cables. Not a bad piece of gear for $69. |

Glad to see our government use my money to buy you a guitar.

It's not as practical as a headphone amp or a modeler, but as someone who already has a couple of fairly loud amps, it's one of the best pieces of gear I've ever bought. |

I ended up not really liking the Fender. Was a beautiful bass but the neck just didn’t feel right for me and I wasn’t too impressed with the preamp on it. Found myself only liking the P pickup in passive. Luckily I bought it for such a good deal that I ended up making a little money on the resale.
Ended up just buying another Stingray. Still like my old natural color one more but it is a sweet bass. Next on the list is a MIJ Fender Jazz. Attached File |

Quoted: I have the same issues with PJ basses, I just don't like the bridge pickup, and the passive p-bass growl is so good, it's hard to switch around. EBMM Stingrays are great basses, I'm debating a 5 string HH one or a G&L L-2500. Sometimes we get obsessed with flexibility, but end up liking one of the options so much that we just stick with that anyway. View Quote I already have a PJ bass that I love. It’s an old Ibanez SR800LE so it’s completely different from the Fender but I much prefer the sound I get from that. I’m a big Stingray fan so that HH model is what I would take. I hear you can get a lot of great tones out of them. Part of me wishes I had gotten the HH but I’m forcing myself to have one simple pickup. I think down the road I’ll get a 5 string. Either the Stingray 5 or I’ve been interested in a Ibanez or Dingwall multi-scale. |
