Guy's

Need a bit of advie / opinions, I currently have an 09 usa standard precision s/burst r/wood neck, its a lovely bass but I can help looking at the Rogers Waters p and thinking about trading the USA in against it. O.K I guess its a USA build vs mexican thing again but thats whats kind of holding me back.

I certainly wouldnt get a great deal for trading if I was gonna go down that route and I always thought the USA stuff would be a good investment so thats another thing for holding back a bit. Any thought's opinions would be appreciated.........

cheers

What is the big picture on the Roger Waters P bass? I hope it's not full of doom and gloom like he seems to be.---NO seriously what's up with it?== I bet it's black-- no really-- I guess I could go look it up. Sorry it has been raining for so long I'm starting to go goofy in here.

I would tend to agree-- the USA basses and Guitars will always be at the top of the heep.

+1 to both responses...you have a great P Bass already. Why not make it your signature model instead? :mrgreen:

Damn! That is exactly what I would do.

Stay with the American and stay away from fjbass, he's a bad influence. If you start talking to him or reading his posts, you'll get G.A.S.

All the advice was good, don't let yourself be tempted by a shiny new bass, we all go through that. If you must, buy one! :D

In our world that's o.k.

You're a bass player, it's expected of you.

Save up a bit more money and keep your American and buy a RW bass :) I think the RW is a good lookig and very good value for money machine at the mo. All the best.

Guy's appreciate your feedback on this!!! I think we do go through this (if its not broke dont fix it) kind of thing. I do love my bass its pretty perfect in all respects - I think what i will do is keep this as the US is the best? Knowing me, ill probably regret getting rid of it in a couple of weeks!! sad really I know

All the best

Rob

I think it may be a question of looks,no? that R.Waters bass is sweet looking but looks are'nt everything and just because it looks cool does'nt mean its a step up-wards quality wise,trading an American bass and using that amt to apply to the R.Waters bass is a lose lose idea.
They may give 450.00$ or so for your bass,then you put that towards the 750.00$ give or take for the MIM R.W. bass you gotta shell out 300.00$ for a Mexican made bass to replace your American made bass,SOUND ABOUT RIGHT? sounds like a poor buisness venture to me,to give up a good bass,lose money and then spend more to buy a lower quality bass,no disrespect but its a 400.00$ cheaper bass,do the math.DONT DO IT MAN!!! :shock:

Thanks lawsuitbass!!, I think that trading in the US bass which is a better qaulity product i guess financially a stupid idea? Your right with the numbers. I just love the look, the thick neck, the tuners, the bodyy which is probably about 10 pieces of alder (LOL), I guess its silly really as my US S/B is mint condition and Im afraid im not using it enough!
