Musical Instruments at Gifts: Fender Classic Series 60's Jazz Bass Electric Guitar.
OK, so if you really want to impress Daddy (me) this next gift giving period, there's few things more desireable to put in a big box with a bow than one of these babies! The Fender Classic Series 60's Jazz Bass Electric Guitar.
I'm reminded while shopping online of all those years as a musically inclined teenager, and young man, of all the years I had to play cheaper instruments and so here begins the gift idea store blog's section re gifts for the ears - musical instruments.
Ah, those many nights in sweaty bars, inspiring a few punters, influencing no one, particularly not record company executives - Life would have been just a little more fun with a decent ax. I was a guitar player back then, but then aren't all guitar players wanna be bass players? Until they actually pick up the thing and realize it's a whole different bird, and doing it right, would mean, becoming, well, a bass player. Over the following 20 or so years I have picked up a few basses and really begun to appreciate what they do, and why their so important to popular music and Westerb Culture. Or when done well, say like when Sting played with the Police, or any of the greats are concerned, it can be a rhythmic and melodic instrument like no other.
So the bass I found. Well, while Fender have a Special Edition 52 Precision Bass Sting replica available (see it here), which is very nice, but I prefer a rosewood fretboard, while window shopping online I found and settled on, yes, please, Daddy wants, the 60s Jazz Bass (pictured) Seems like it comes only in these 2 colors, but apparently it comes in Olympic White as well, but I couldn't find a pic. If the white's not available, the Sunburst one on the left of this picture would be more than fine, thanks, and maybe keep me occupied through the long winter months when I can't ride my motorcycle.
Godspeed on all your shopping adventures, Cvetko Ostroznik.
