Hey All,
I went to a show the other night in Albany, NY so I was able to stop by one of my favorite music stores in the area. Parkway Music in Clifton Park, NY. I didn't have a ton of time but I was able to sit and plug into a nice Mesa Subway setup. I tried out a Fender American Vintage II 1954 Precision (Big Sting Fan!
). What a great bass! I'm usually a Jazz Bass kind of guy but this bass was AWESOME! The neck was fat and round and I even liked the flatwounds it came with and I am a Rotosound Swing Bass devote! The bass was also setup perfectly!
Next I tried out a Nash PB63 in Burgundy Mist. I have been dying to try out a Nash for some time now and now I get it! This bass played and sounded incredible! I think it was one of their lighter relicing jobs but I was just floored. Again I'm not a P-Bass player but I really wanted to walk out the door with either of these Precisions. Yes they were that good!![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
I tried out a few geetars as well. Some nice Fenders and Gibsons and a lovely PRS. All played acoustically as to not emabarass myself! Why guitar players complain about PRS is beyond me? This thing played amazing! And I am the worst guitar player ever!![Wink ;) ;)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png)
With playtime running out I headed down to Albany but not before checking out the Guitar Center. Fellas what happened to all the basses?
Well I guess its called Guitar Center for a reason, right?
Anywhoo there was one bass there that caught my eye. It was a Dingwall Afterburner 5 string. Now I have difficulties playing four strings so playing a five was a bit much. but I was more concerned with the fanned frets. Like many players and reviewers have mentioned is the ease in which you adjust to the fanned system. It's true! I couldn't believe it! Even with the added big ole B string!
The bass was a bit banged up but if someone is looking for a deal I think it was listed at $499? Again I have no affiliation with GC.
Anyway, good show and good trip! The Parkway folks are very nice to deal with as always.
I hope you are all well, thank you for letting me share!
