Soon-to-be New Arrival in Spinland

[spinland]

As if I didn't already have a cray-cray enough life right now, I went and did something perhaps rash. Over the weekend I was jamming with my nephew who's just started learning to play his shiny new bass guitar, and when he was taking a break from 12 bar blues runs I picked it up and started noodling around. It was so fun! I had until then never touched a proper bass; I've long used my digital guitar set up to sound like one whenever I needed some bass tracks.

Well, I had to get one. I wasn't going to pay new instrument prices for something that'll be (at best) a side show, and I decided that it had to be PRS, because reasons. Lo and behold: Reverb had a used 2014 model of exactly the one I'd get if I were to buy one new, listed in "excellent" condition and from a very reputable vendor. Even better, the price was nearly US$200 less than I saw others asking for the same instrument and about half the street price for a new one of that model.

Badda-bing. Just waiting now for it to be shipped here from Wisconsin.

Sweet looking guitar.

I LOVE playing bass guitar. You'll love it too!

Thanks, guys! Based on my initial experiments with my nephew's, first skill I'll need to pick up is sliding and/or moving my fretting fingers without involuntary pull-offs. Those fat strings just did not want to let go of my fingers without a fuss! Part of it might be the action on his Stedman starter instrument, so I'll reserve my concerns until I've fondled the PRS a bit. :side:
