Title: NBD
Post by: marauder on August 13, 2010, 07:39:11 PM: I sold the Fender Roscoe Beck Bass V for more than I paid for it (don't tell my cousin, he'll want a cut of the profit), my fingers just couldn't take the width of the neck anymore!

With only playing bass very rarely, and only for fun, I picked up a Mexi P-Bass. This thing practically plays itself, not the toiling the Roscoe was.

Between the simplicity, appealing colour - and the reported playablilty , it reminds me that if I 'Jazzed' on anything other than my archtops, it would be a nice Bass like that. Ironically, I have never liked the look of a 'Jazz' Bass for the job. I can almost feel it under the fingers by just looking at the photos. Nice score . :)

I ain't paying £30-40 for a piece of mirrored plastic. That's a big wedge to the new pickup pot.

(I was playing Running Free earlier though :) )

I've got one of these, but in white, couldn't get sunset orange unfortunately...

(Needless to say, my bass playing is even worse than my guitar playing)
