I have been sipping adult beverages and playing a little bass tonight -- the wife and new baby are in bed. I played my F@##$! jazz for a while and began to think this is really a cool bass, until I pulled out my 92 Ray... Wow! I really should not play them both on the same night. The Ray smokes the Jazz, and this is a pretty good Jazz bass (I've had a bunch over the years, so I should know). Every note on the ray is loud and clear, this thing just screams :) I can't believe Fender can get away with selling their American Basses at a grand plus.

In conclusion, God bless BP, God bless, EB, and God bless Jack Williams :) Sterling for president!

Nah, God bless you guys - seriously.

This is the most fun a person can have with his/her clothes on.

No bevies tonight, but about three solid hours in the bass chair with the following c.d.'s:

Doobie Bro's - Captain and Me
Yellowjackets - self-titled
Madness - Rise and Fall
Four Tops - Millenium Collection
Jaco - Word of Mouth Revisited

I don't know about my own abilities, but there's nothing the Bongo can't handle!

Playing Fs and EBs back to back really puts things into perspective.

we couldnt play w/ the amp on too loud since were in my apartment at 1am. but let it be known that mr shamus has some chops.

the whole 1am thing also didnt quite allow me to fully rock the bongo but i am lookin fwd to my loaner program Bongo. those are some serious basses
 
Thanks for the compliment, Duckk!

BTW, Arin is a great hang...any Forumites ever in the Bay Area should hook up at the Prince of Wales with us!

Thanks Bud!
