I had loaned my nephew a '70s Memphis P-bass copy a couple of years ago, and I happen to know that he no longer plays it. Maybe you'll see it out on the road somewhere. who came down and practically did surgery on the thing right at my desk at work during my lunch hour. I sold the bass to a touring musician from L.A. I have enjoyed many a fine cool beverage out of the fridge but I really only used the bass once for a quick recording. I like my butter solid and my mayo unspoiled, so I went with.refridgerator! I have to say it was a good call too. Again, loved the instrument, but unfortunately I'm still in financial survival mode from the recent split with the wife, so it came down to Fender bass or refridgerator. Even though the bridge is a pretty basic piece of hardware that was originally designed to be a budget student instrument back in the day, it stayed in tune just fine. As my boss would say, 'Me likey.' Not sure why my boss says that. It's a short scale instrument and it was strung with flatwound strings, which I'd never had before. I had the bass for a couple of months and really liked it. This thing looks really cool and classic.yeah I know.I just used the word classic in the previous sentence. The bass was in excellent condition and we both had decided that anyone who is afraid of a classic shell pink Fender because it might mean they are gay is an idiot.

He also knew a few musicians I knew and we ended up chatting about instruments and the weirdness of Craig's List for way too long. I drew the line there.just not kosher.Īnyway, so the guy meets me and he turns out to be a very cool guy with some great punk rock roots. I actually had a guy who wanted to meet me at a guitar store and then do the deal inside the store so he could try out the guitar through one of their amps. It's always fun to do a transaction for a cool instrument within steps of a giant supermarket of a guitar store. I drove up to Orange County from San Diego.the guy was nice enough to meet me halfway.and met in the parking lot of a Guitar Center. Evidently ANOTHER case of Craig's List Flake-itis caused this one to come back up for sale a week later. It was actually listed once before and by the time I got around to contacting the guy, the ad was gone and it was sold. I just got this bass a couple of months ago from Craig's List in Orange County.
