I had a rather hectic day yesterday - got the call that my bass had arrived, so after work I jumped on the tube and picked it up. Then I jumped straight back on the tube, headed to my gig that I was playing at 2 hours later got changed in the toilet, sound checked and then played.
Having never played the bass before I was a little nervous, and did make a couple of minor errors, but the sheer power and tone blew me (and several members of the audience) away!
Strange co-incedence that I haven't played a gig for 3 months, and have a recording session booked this weekend - good timing EBMM!
Got alot more comments that I usually do about the bass after the gig and alot of people were loving the look of it too.
During the wait for it to arrive I had started to doubt my choice of colour combo. Let me tell you now that as soon as the case opened those doubts went, and to be truthful my knees went a little weak.
The white pearl colour is immense, not too sparkly but just enough in the right light (which I've done my best to try and capture with an iphone and poor lighting!)
So anyway, no pics no bass right!??
L05070
I'm just headed to my first practice with it, then got a weekend of recording so I'll be able to post my thoughts along with some action pics/vids hopefully.
All I can say is I have wanted this bass for the last 10 years and after having worked damn hard for a while I'm in the fortunate position of owning one.
Was it worth the wait/effort?
HELL YES
