i made a trip to the "musicians consignment shop" today with the intent of seeing if they had any lefty pick guards or really cheap pedals or something fun to play with.

then i saw it.

LEFT HANDED 2003 mexi sunburst jazz bass. NEARLY PERFECT. looked at the pricetag...pretty low.... pulled it down expecting it to be a squire somehow... nope... even has a ONE PIECE BODY (which i tend to see many multipiece USA bodies, so i was shocked).

played it for about 30 min. asked for permission from the wife (having already bought an SG, an 8 track digital mixer/recorder so far this year- i figured it was the right thing to do- of course she said okay, but shes not happy about a 15th guitar..)

brought it home, gave about 3 full turns or so on the truss rod, dropped the saddles a CRAP TON!... and played it for a few hours through the marshall mini stack... now i need to build a bass cab....


jazz basses are amazing..


imagine if guitar center would have had what i was looking for....imagine if i wouldnthave bothered going there..
oh here is why im so happy---- guy reluctantly sold it to me for $150. yeah thats right. a $530 dollar bass (MF) for 150. i love it already.


once i get my techniques down, i wanna drop the action a little more, but i have a lot of buzzing above 13th fret area.

ive never even played a lefty bass.. i was going to buy a cheap SX bass for 200 sometime this year.... whoda thunk id find/haggle this deal!!!

the only marks in it are some minor scratches on the back, one dent near the 5th fret inbetween the skunk stripe and the fret maker and a couple nics in the headstock edge (most likely leaning agaist an amp or something),

its pretty nice. someone probably never really played it honestly. the way the action was when i bought it.. (shivers).

it looks super sweet next to my burst with maple strat... yummy yummy..... i need a burst tele now...... and .... and.... and... lol
