Members Mr.Mow Posted August 21, 2007 Members Posted August 21, 2007 So I just bought a Squire VM Jazz bass.. Then some guy just bought my Les Paul (collectible one..) so now I have $4K sitting there.. I coulda bought an American Vintage Fender JB.. Now I have to sell the VM JB to buy the Fender (rules in my house, to buy one I gotta sell one.. Long story). Interesting dilemma eh?!
Members jmb374 Posted August 21, 2007 Members Posted August 21, 2007 I know all about that rule, having just sold my spector to get a USA p-bass. That rule sucks! Sell the VM. Or get a kickass amp, there's not a rule on those (in my house anyway).

Or get a kickass amp, there's not a rule on those (in my house anyway). It works ok though.. I never played the LP all that much, I can now put $2K to the house and spend $2K on a bass.. And come out looking like a hero!

Members Mr.Mow Posted August 21, 2007 Author Members Posted August 21, 2007 Ahem. Put your foot down. How many pairs of shoes does she have? Nah, shes REALLY good, its more a self imposed limit.. Hell when we were in Japan earlier this year we walked into an Ikebe Gakki store, we were looking around, she comes up to me 'you NEED to buy this guitar NOW'.. Who am I to argue? She made me buy a Fender 62 Tele custom in metallic blue with a Bigsby! Shes a keeper!
Moderators Kindness Posted August 21, 2007 Moderators Posted August 21, 2007 Nice sell, nice Tele, nice woman... I'm starting to hate you!
Members walkerci Posted August 21, 2007 Members Posted August 21, 2007 Shes a keeper! OK, I'll put my foot back in my mouth...

Members tylytle Posted August 21, 2007 Members Posted August 21, 2007 Buy a nice amp. The V/M is a nice bass. Just says Squier on it...
Members Mr.Mow Posted August 21, 2007 Author Members Posted August 21, 2007 OK, I'll put my foot back in my mouth... I got lucky! She even told me NOT to sell my motorbike when we bought our house. I think.. And I can't believe I'm going to say this.. I'll not buy another bass, I'll buy some nice upgrade bits for the squier (badassII etc).. I kinda like it..
Members justinbass Posted August 21, 2007 Members Posted August 21, 2007 I kinda like it.. You should. They are surprisingly great instruments. And a Bad Ass bridge is always a good thing to put on a Fender.

You have a ton of cash for a bass lying around, and CHOOSE to keep the As for the cash...if you don't need anything now, just save it. You never know when you'll need it.

Probably most of the hardware.. But for no other reason than the finish bugs me, the saddles are little die cast blobs with cheap chrome.. I'm really weird about stuff like that. Like I'm probably going to plug the pickguard holes and redrill em cos they are all drilled crooked. Hey, I wouldn't take my judgement for much though! I'm a bass noob... We're off to Japan hopefully next year so I may try to pick up something while I'm there, would love one of these.. Its a Japanese Bacchus, I have one of their Les Paul copies.. lovely guitars..
Members georgestrings Posted August 21, 2007 Members Posted August 21, 2007 Its a Japanese Bacchus, I have one of their Les Paul copies.. lovely guitars.. It sure looks nice... if it plays and sounds as good as it looks, I'd rock that bad chicken... - georgestrings
Members NeonVomit Posted August 21, 2007 Members Posted August 21, 2007 Buy a Ric. I don't even own a Ric though.
Members toolbar Posted August 21, 2007 Members Posted August 21, 2007 You need to buy something for HER, too. That would really make you look like a hero.
Members Super Bass Posted August 21, 2007 Members Posted August 21, 2007 You need to buy something for HER, too. That would really make you look like a hero. Like a bass with a really wide neck and his name on it? *thinks of Simpsons episode where Homer buys Marge a bowling ball* BTW, those Bacchus basses are awesome! I was gonna buy one but I bought an another Aria instead. On the subjects of sig. others telling you whether or not to buy instruments. I stupidly brought my last ex (she was my gf then) along to a store here when I was buying a strat. She wouldnt shut up about not liking the pickguard. I bought the thing anyways. She was a bit pissed off, I dunno why, it wasn't hers!

Sell the VM and get a new or slightly used MIA or MIJ J Bass.
