      @The_sinner_Jim_Whitney 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Adam Mono A short-scale parts P bass with a Jazz-width neck, from the looks of it. I'm sure they're sold by someone, but you can easily build one from Warmoth (probably others, too) that will be a better bass than 90+% of Fenders for like a grand, plus make it exactly how you want it. I've been meaning to put a shortie-P together for a while, there's nothing quite like them.

      I want to see them chilling at Fearless Flyers HQ in those jumpsuits. Shag carpet, conversation pit, Marantz quadraphonic stereo, goofy metal sculptures, stacks of Motown and Stax vinyl, and musicians hanging out drinking Cinzano and Campari on ice.
      Then the call comes in over the Charlie's Angels speakerphone: "Fearless Flyers, assemble in studio!"
