New Bass Day!  I had my eye on one in the store and the owner had agreed to take my banjo off my hands plus a little cash on my part for a Squier Classic Vibe Jazz Bass.  I was talking with my buddy about it and he asked me to consider trading with him (he wanted the banjo).  So, I got this bass instead.
It is a Classic Vibe 50's P Bass body with a MIM Precision Bass neck with upgraded tuners.  He even went as far as to buy a new neck plate.  The neck feels nice.  The pickup sounds good to my ears (a little noisy but I was sitting directly in front of the computer monitor). 
I'm not a bass player but I love to listen to talented bass players.  I now have no reason not to learn!!  I looked up a lesson on the following website and built an audio demo around the lesson.  I have a long way to go;)

Nice clip! You are well on your way funk daddy.

Sweet bass. I love those old school squires. If you can sing leads and play you'll be just like Sting!

I had to stop listening to your demo incase they thought i was watching porn at work! ;D

Lovely looking bass though, i've had my eye on a precision bass for a little while now  :)

My wife would love that!  Sadly I'm not a singer.  I was forced to take individual voice lessons for 2 semesters and my prof said not to pursue singing....my wife will have to just settle for the porn stuff;)

Bass is pretty cool, but it's the dog that stole the spotlight...

How loud is too loud?  What?

Yup, that doggie can play!

That boy needs a hippshot! That's a great looking bass.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

She's a great dog - Rhodesian Ridgeback.  Best dog I've ever had.  Her name's Penny Lane.
Jimmy- hipshot worth the upgrade?  Supposedly the Classic Vibes have a 'Hi-Mass' bridge.

Really enjoying playing the bass.  Here is what I worked on today.  Also in this clip is my 'new' Tele Thinline Copy with 2 P90s (Douglas Gravity with a WD Fat neck).  Really enjoyed playing it as well.  I've been playing a bit more and building less.  It has been refreshing...but I'm starting to get the itch.  Printed a Glitterattii and Grapevine on Press N Peel blue tonight;)

Agreed.  That's a fine dog and a nice axe.

I forgot to mention...Awesome chair too! it looks mighty comfortable.

The 'Wiggle Chair'  The chair is interesting and though the dog makes it look comfortable, it's not that great.  I'm not one for fashion but it really clashes with the green walls! LOL.  We are currently in a house decorated in the 70's.  Sadly no shag carpet:(
