Members MingusBass Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 by the Fender bug. A little background. I'm a BIG Ernie Ball Music Man fan. I have five EBMM basses and one EBMM guitar but I recently got a great deal on a couple Fenders and I've got to say, I'm having a blast. It's been years since I've had a four string let alone a Fender but one of my first basses was a Mexican P bass and later I had an Inca Silver Jazz Bass, so it's like riding a bike. Full disclosure, I picked up a Sadowsky outboard preamp to make the transition a little easier. Fabulous combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members justinbass Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 That P-bass looks like it has some history. Nice score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MingusBass Posted August 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 That P-bass looks like it has some history.Nice score! It's actually a 2009 Fender Road Worn. It's a killer bass though and would you believe I picked up both for around $1000? The Jazz is a New American Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Goofball Jones Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 You picked up both for a total of $1000? So like $500 a piece? That IS a sweet deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ezstep Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sweet! Don't be surprised that the Fenders can still do a few things that the MM cannot do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MingusBass Posted August 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sweet! Don't be surprised that the Fenders can still do a few things that the MM cannot do. They're a different vibe/flavor, that's for sure. I'm just glad to have a couple more great basses. I can't wait to gig them through my SVT-VR/Bergantino NV610 rig.
