So I call up my Sweetwater Sales Engineer to inquire about weight mitigation for my jazz bass, maybe some kind of helium bladder? You can guess where that went!
Learning and playing and having fun with you guys on this board has destroyed my self control!
I never thought I'd play much bass any more, sure never thought I would buy another one. I have really been enjoying trying to get some chops up and do some VJR tracks for example (sorry guys ). My jazz bass is not especially heavy for a JB at 10 lbs, but it is just too heavy for me. I forget I'm playing and when I stop it's a bad day.
So, once again using the "ounce of prevention" mantra I have justified more wood...
Get this...
A Fender Player Mustang PJ Bass (I think I said that right). a 30" scale vs 34" on the JB. 7.2 lbs vs 10.0 lbs. When my wife saw me with it on she said it looks like a kids bass (she's used to the JB)!
Anyway, the little bass with the full size PJ pups has a nice sound and it will be much easier on the player. So far it is just a kick to play! Good a good deal from Sweetwater on this one! Thump thump...
It would seem I have no trouble resisting temptation.
