Way to resurrect, eh?

I was going to ask whether you were bassguy like the fish or bassguy like the awesome roaring foundation of any well-made song.

My P-Bass is a 2008 American Standard, which I bought after 25 years of being a Fender naysayer. I also have a 5-string Lakland which has a great neck, and I just unloaded a Godin A5 fretted.

I've dreamed of getting an upright since I first started playing, but I realised this year that they're really two separate instruments, and have elected to let go and just concentrate on getting better on the electric. Letting go of a dream happens with a jolt, but I'm okay with it now. So I'm putting 4 grand down on a NYC Sadowsky 5-string in September. Should be ready for my 40th birthday next May.

What you said about collectability is true of more than just razors, Mr '68 P-Bass ;-)
