Just got my first bass...

[thindave]

This one arrived at my doorstop yesterday - I was going to order a new white one, but then two of these came up on ebay at the same time and I couldn't pass it up.

So, do I have to grow a soul patch or wear a beret now?

 

[Fuzzy Dustmite]

Wow, that's an awesome looking sterling

 

[Dees]

[skabassist13]

No beret required, but you might consider an Avanti Shirt
.

Dave, I saw that in your signature the other day and thought that I didn't know you had a bass.

Nice snag!!!! Love the color, isn't it mint!!!!

It really is - I like it a lot. I need to give it a good cleaning, though - slight funk in the case...

Sharp!

Funny - I'm beginning to wonder myself; last night I saw a bassist
wearing a beret. That's the 2nd time in one month.

I think I've seen pics of our own Larry & Jack wearing them as well ??

 

[CodeMonkey]

That's a hell of a bass for a first bass. Happy playing!


I guess bassists in berets is bad, but at least your bands haven't been doomed to play in the hardcore scene where all bassists can and must wear blue bandanas, black hair dye, plugs in the holes in their ears and sport way too many bad tats. Actually typing that, I think I'm coming around. Think they'd accept me if I sported a bandanna like Tupac? You know, tied in the front. White....THUG LIFE....uh I mean, yeah.....



...Ok back to my treehouse...

I'm curious, having not actually seen a Sparkle finish in person...

...is the pictured 'sparkling' an effect of the camera, or does the finish really stand out like that?

 

[anthrobassist]

Jack and I wear Kangols. He wears his backwards though.

Oh, I almost forgot. That bass is sweet! You don't have to wear a beret but it helps.

My black sparkle is nice, but more subtle in person, without light hitting it directly. But when the lights hit it, it dances!

Dave..I was wrong about a color on another thread today, but at the risk of going 2 for 2, I bleeb that is White Sparkle.

 

[82Daion]

Cool bass. Great find!

Man, you ARE slipping....

That's just the sunlight - no flash on it...

Now go clean that fretboard!
