To match my shoes and socks.
I was recently talking to a music/guitar store employee about the availability of Fender precision basses in stores and the fact no store ever seems to stock the black one. He went on to tell me that Fender actually makes more black basses and guitars than other colors but stores don’t stock them because they don’t look as pretty on the walls of the shop. “Look over at that wall. We want color up there.” Or something like that. Why not keep them on hand in the back room then to avoid custom orders later if they are supposedly so popular?
The title is a lie. I’d actually prefer a white one like the custom bass I photoshopped a while ago but there’s a reason I had to photoshop it – they don’t make it.
I don’t know why, but for some reason when I read that title, I read it as “bass.” Like, as in bass the fish.
Maybe I’m just crazy.
Congratulations man. May your Precision not inherit the malodorous qualities that my Jazz has over the years.
hooray for Pbasses. now for my jazzmaster and new amp.
