His must be the vintage mod version as had the dual pickup and black headstock.
Was cool to see someone I know to be an excellent guitarist playing bass- was all over the neck strumming, playing lead parts and generally putting in a solid shift.

Looks super cool. What venue was that?

Oslo in Hackney, just next to Hackney downs station. Sound was pretty good.

Fender have 15% off those for today only…

(Including the non limited colours)

Also in that sale, can’t believe they’ve still got some of those gold foil Telecasters knocking around, I think they look so cool.

These look nice too

Love a pair of P90s!

I'm looking at s/h P Basses with Pau Ferro or Maple fingerboards from 2015-2018 second hand at £600 ish. WTF?! 🤣

It's crazy to think that the old Mexican stuff which was dirt cheap 10-15 years ago is now elevated to 'Player' status, which in all probability is just the new 'Standard'

Anyone have any experience of the Fender Player II series? Specifically looking at P Bass. New at £749.

('Standard' now being Squier Classic Vibe in all but name 😬)

('Standard' now being Squier Classic Vibe in all but name 😬)

From what I've heard, it's closer to Affinity than Classic Vibe.

Good point yeah!

I'm still struggling in the hunt for a P-bass. Agree that Mex prices are bonkers.

There's a late 90s Korean (Cort Factory) Squier for sale on facebay for £310. I keep passing over it in my hunt for the right affordable MIJ, but the more I look the better the "Cor-Tec" Squier seems. https://www.facebook.com/share/1Dw52okESE/

Have you considered/tried direct-from-Japan sites such as Ishibashi, Digimart or ZenMarket?

Squier or the Sire P basses might be a shout. I just can't seem to get over the itch for a Fender 😬🙄

What’s a decent budget guitar for a fat fingered bassist nowadays? Want something fun to play that’s decent without spending over £400 if that’s even possible. Dream would be a telecaster but £££ over my limited budget

Never mind, I misread your post!

Had it in the cart all day but resisted temptation. Don’t need it, can’t justify it at the moment :)
