what to do with that "other" bass

[jar546]

Now that I have been part of the EB MM family with my purchase of a SR5HH about 6 months ago, my fender p has been collecting dust. I am looking for something to do with it but I can't seem to think of anything. I suppose it will have to be a backup. Maybe I will just use it for those few songs that have oddball tuning on a 4 string such as CGDG.

Any ideas?

hey Jar,
near you now is a high school with a music program and not very much money, in that program is a bass player waiting to get his/her hands on your extra bass ... you have the power to make someone's dreams come true and help create a fine jazz band player or high school garage band bass player ... either a loan or donation could also get you a prime spot and honourable mention at the next school concert

keep it around until an opportunity presents itself especially if its a decent player. hey maybe some day youll run into someone who'll wanna trade their bongo for your p bass. it'll be a win win

Hey Pzo,

On second thought, because it's a F....r, I kinda think that may be "contributing to the deliquency of a minor"!!

Can't you get arrested for that?

sell it, and buy a musicman for a back up.

Put it in a stand near the door and use it to hold your hat?

Added bonus is that it keeps roaches away.

HEY, HEY, JUST KIDDING, I love them P-basses.

Wall ornament(s), hang your stuff on the wall . .

Demonstrate perfect pitch with it. In this case, of course, a perfect pitch is one where the P-bass lands right on the tip top of the bonfire.

Cue "The Crow"...

Huh. We'd still be playing uprights if it wasn't for p-basses. Try fitting one of those in the trunk of your Honda.

Throw a set of group 2 flats on it and save it for when you want the motown sound.

 

[tkarter]

Pzo had the best idea. IMHO.

There needs to be more of that going on in the world even if it is a fender you are donating.

+1 on putting some flats on her and hanging onto it. Variety is the spice of life.
I enjoy having many tools in the toolbox...you'll always find a need for them.

Its good to have a P around some ppl really want you to have one of those F*****s,

Strangely enough I did a gig this weekend where they "required" a 5 string,,,first time thats ever come up,,,I think in the end there were two tunes that had a low D in them (charts on this gig) a de tuner would of covered it really,,,

Thats exactly what I did! Seriously love the P tone, shame on you people who mock it. Shame on you.

Remember, we get a bad reputation on other forums for bashing fender.

I never really understood that with my last band. I could always cover the bottom end with my d tuner

It's a classic, after all. And if it's a good one, then hang on to it.

I seriously doubt that, but I know what you're saying. Anyway, I was just joking around. I have a P and a J.

I think they just don't know what a d-tuner is.....Either way I play 5 string most the time so it was no big deal.
