I'm not a great bassist. Played in a couple of punk bands when I was younger but mainly root notes. I recently bought myself a Fender P bass. Not because I feel I'm "good enough" to have one, but because, like you, I've just always wanted one and having it to play on my own in my room when my wife and son go out makes me happy. That's all that matters. Enjoy it sir.

my first bass was an old beat up peavy t-40 that some jack ass had riped the frets off of (but i was still able to learn on it due to the filled in fret lines still showing). it didn't inspire learning though. the first year i played i mostly diddled around. the second year my buddy picking up guitar did inspire me to do more and be better.. but the thing that really kicked me into gear on getting Good at playing was when my mom bought me my 1995 US fender P-bass for christmas of 1996 (well she got me the bass in 1996 , but if you look at the serial number and the craftsman stamps on the body and neck (in the pocket) you can see it was made in 1995. but went on a tangent there , point was , just having better gear inspired me to be better on said gear. but yeah those prices today are just murder it really jumped up in teh alst 5 years too. just 5 years ago my steve harris fender (made in mexico) was only 999.99 (USD) , they now price at 1299.99 (USD). mexican standard fenders used to be 550 USD , now the are 850 USD. anmd 25 years ago that US fender was a world in cost different from a US fender today. the US standard p i got was 950 USD in 1996 for a base line US fender today you are looking at 1500-1700. that's nearly double the cost.

Nice, your excitement is contagious and jumps off the screen! That is a sweet bass, digging the string-thru body, and the Miami Blue color kills it... be lyin' if I said I wasn't envious. :) My two kids, now adults, were born with the gift of playing music. As I head into my "retirement" years, I decided a few weeks ago to learn how to play music. So I dug out my best Dee Dee Ramone T-shirt, and picked up a MiM Cosmic Jade Fender PJ Base at my local music store... my skills totally suck, but having blast leaning how to play bass.

I started playing guitar 21 years ago, and I don't think there's anyone on the planet who would guess I've been playing that long because I sure don't sound like it. But it's fun! Something about this bass is really special though because it's totally "clicked" with me. I don't think I've put in this much consistent practice time since high school and I've definitely seen progress even in only a few short weeks.

I recently bought a Fender Vintera 50s precision bass, I was also looking at the American pro 2 and the American Original. I went with the Vintera mainly because I always wanted a p bass with the nut width of the 50s. From what I know the Ensenada Mexico factory is only 150 miles from the California factory. Sweetwater is great, I’m in Chicago so when I order instruments from there they arrive the next day! Love the punk rock lines, great playing!!!

I loved the instrument when it functioned ... but when it started having issues my love kinda died. My other instruments the 26 year old 1995 US p bass, my steve harris signature pbass , and my tom araya Ta-500 have all been long lasting instruments taht only need light maintance, every few years to keep tip top. tweek the truss rod a little here and there as the seasons cause wood expansion and retraction. and fret crowning jobs are usually good for 10-15 years with how much i play them so that's not even a big issue as one of the basses is not even ten years old yet (the steve harris one is a 2015 bass). but yeah that peavy t-40 still gets me those things are real solid basses and now that they are all vintage unproduced models their prices for them on ebay and vintage sellers is going up , up and up. just 5 years ago you could still find them for as low as 350 on ebay ,and as high as 600. now the lowest price i seen was 750 for one that was repainted and had it's metal nut replaced with a regular nut (the solid steel nut is one of the great features of the peavy t-40) and it was missing it's hard shell case. The highest i've seen them go for now is like 2,500 for a near mint 78 model with it's OG case.

It's funny because I was literally JUST talking to someone about using the PodMic for instruments. It really depends on your amp. The PodMic is surprisingly good at bass drums because it cuts out some of the muddiness, so if your tone has a lot of low end, it might be a neat choice. Also, there have been so many times people called the SX a p bass and I didn't wan't to be the "Um actually..." guy so I just let it go 😁

Mine just shipped from Musicians friend, I have ordered from sweet water before but they were not going to have this in stock for about a year…. So I ordered a Jazz from them and a P (this exact model and color) from MF….

The 24hr thing isn't 100% correct. It's really only for instruments going from say winter to summer conditions. Really only applies to nitro finishes too. Realistically it only takes 2hrs or so to get up temp in that scenario.

That’s what I was hoping. I know nitro finishes can be really sensitive, but luckily I didn’t need to worry about that here.

I often hear people say that instrument don't matter as great guitarist/bassist can make even a 200 $ squier sound great but that's the difference, they are already great player. but i can guarantee you that if you start on a instrument with awful ergonomic, with a chonky ass neck, fretbuzz, and bad sound then you would not progress as muck as a really well built instrument. you will just feel discourage a lot of the time. nowadays you can have cheap squier or sire for not that much money and just go to your local luthier to fix the trussroad, action, and a few fret if you are a beginner that don't know much, trust me it will be night and days. don't be like 15 years old me, with a cheap 50€ bass, with the highest action you've ever seen, the most god forsaken fretjob ever, i didn't know any better so i just thought that all bass were that way so i really suffer on that bass, destroy my wrist on it and some technique were impossible to do ( forget tapping and slap with that action).

That 24 hours is bullsiet. Once it leaves Sweetwater, UPS or FedEx will store in some non climate controlled warehouse. Depending how far the destination, your bass or guitar will be held at multiple storage warehouse hubs. Then it will be placed in a delivery vehicle subjected to outdoor conditions. You don’t think your instrument has changed since it left Sweetwater? You know many touring musicians will always require their instruments to be setup at every different venues they play at all over the country because of CLIMATE CHANGES! I live in Arizona and by the time I receive my bass, the action is super high and will need to set up to my preference. That 55 point Sweetwater inspection is just a selling gimmick and bullshiet.
