Nice bass setup. I had one of those and I sold it for a 60 Jazz reissue which I still have. I love that bass.

I played Jazz basses for years until I somehow stumbled onto the Precision. The one is the picture is my fifth -- I still have three of the others! To my credit, I have a buyer for one, who is scraping together the money for it.
At the moment, the Hartke gear is loaded in the back of my Toyota. Tomorrow it will be traded in on the Mesa Boogie.

Don't get me wrong. The 59 Precision reissue is one heck of a great instrument. It's one of the most solid instruments I've ever played. It really feels like you've got a hold of something. I've also got 2 original Hofners, and a weird fretless thing made from a 1951 Epiphone Deluxe archtop body and a fretless bass neck. I even had a 60 Gibson EB2 and a 54 EB-1. I sold the EB2 and lost the EB1 in a hurricane. Snapped the neck right in half. The Fenders still are te better ones.

A serious bass-playing friend and I drove to Beaumont today with the '57 P to check out the Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout 1x15 (whew!) and it is now in the back of the Toyota, waiting to be unloaded when it's light out. Great bass, great amp....
I handed the dealer my 12 -$100 bills, and he handed me back a ten and 43 cents. The amp was a floor demo, with a creme cover instead of the usual black, and the amp with that covering goes for $1599, so I'm pretty happy.
I also spend a few hours with an old playing partner from the '80s, and we swapped tales of bandmates and misadventures for the 3 or so hours we were on the road. Kenny Burrell would understand.
