first bass got for a steal!!!!!!!

evol04gt · June 3rd, 2008, 06:26 PM

just bought a 2003 Fender suburst Jazz Bass sunburst lefty for 160!!!!

ive wanted a bass for a long time--- being a lefty its a pain in the butt to find anything good without getting raked.....all i had to do was tighten the truss rod and its was perfect... one dent on neck and a couple on the headstock.

long time 6 and 12 string slinger, now i get to play with a bass too!!!

VERY VERY happy!!

the wife--- not so much...

this was taken earlier... im not a photographer....

i dropped the action a bit more and will probably be doing it more again later... no idea what guage strings these are, but they are newer...

i use 9-42s on all my guitars (gibson,epis and fenders) so what will i like? lol.

Nice! I hope I can find such a good deal.

its worth the wife being mad about the purchase.... i have never seen a deal this good since i got my all solid dean 12 string with quilted back and sides for 250.....(converting cost another 180, but thats besides the point...lol

i usually get things on good deals most of the time. pretty good at it actually..

i almost bought a squire jazz bass for 175 a lil bit ago.... sooo glad i waited.
