Hi Terry, My current primary bass is a Fender Squire PJ, (Has both Progressive and Jazz Pickups with a Jazz Neck) I love the thing, paid $150.00 for it. I also have a POS no name Pbass I hate :( pickups are ass and the thing sounds like it.. This Fender Made In Mexico (MIM) is (when Restored) in the ballpark of 600-800 on the used Fender scene. Fender Made in America(MIA) go for anywhere between 1200-2000. Depends on condition and year. Fender started shipping work to Mexico from California, and the craftsmanship was superb. They then wanted to try and speed up production and cut costs and allow for an new Series of guitars, and started the Squire Line. This started in Japan, moved to Taiwan briefly then Indonesia. Along the way craftsmanship, wood types and pickups all took a back seat to mass produced entry level gear. All that being said I love my PJ, and will never part with it. And I do believe the old add age that its not the quality of the arrow its the Indian behind the Bow that matters most ;) Jerry

So I may have done a very smart thing, or a very dumb thing. Found a Fender Made in Mexico Pbass for $100 at a pawn shop. Says the truss rod needs work and its road used and weary. But hell its s MIM Fender for $100 even if i have to toss some money at it could be a great bargain. Its shipping to me this week.

Welcome aboard LacyB !!!!! Loving some of your recent work!!! Glad to have you here!!! Jerry

Terry, Wow thanks for digging up all the happenings, but to be honest, hanging out with you and jamming together sounds like the most fun thing to do for me. I will have a Rental car and I am about 30 Mins away from Dallas. so that's not too shabby. Hell maybe we can get your wife to shoot video of us rocking out LOL Jerry

Headed to Plano, TX week of Sept 28, get in late Monday and leave Friday Afternoon. Training all day Tues-Fri. Anyone got any cool things to see after hours in the area? Jerry

@@manchot66 Steve, man I am so sorry to hear you aren't feeling well brother. I certainly hope your med changes help with the energy and they find nothing of interest in your MRI's. Keep in touch and keep us informed! Jerry

@@avdocatwork Played the Jeff Beck tune, Pretty funny Jimi did that bass. hit 100% first run, not hard to do lol.. Great tune though, Beck sounds like the Jeff Beck I remember loving to listening too.. JB

randomness but, I'm 49, and really begining to consider that Dean Wormer was wrong... "Fat ,Drunk & Stupid " Just may be the way to go through life. Damn Ive wasted a lot of prime years pushing, excelling and being top of my game.... Lots of catching up to do...

@@avdocatwork Glad you had a blast man, sounds like a long gig indeed, good for you, and thanks, enjoyed playing that one love the bass line.

Now I'm getting requests from friends lol.. Fun little tune...

@@avdocatwork Wow Terry, You have been a busy lad!! thanks for all these great tunes to play. Had my wife singing this morning ! Here's ZZ Top Plays great, tones and volumes are perfect. Here's Beatles LSD , Another great Job , love the tones and Volume work, some interesting changes in this one. https://youtu.be/r3kfx3fXQgI Here's Hey Jude Once again, I would not change a thing in the bass track, or the volumes of the tone https://youtu.be/gN0bo_fB87Q

@@manchot66 Just teasing ya Steve :) J

@@manchot66 Hey man, don't harsh on my groove... hahaha @@avdocatwork Terry Thanks man it is a great Saturday Night Live Parody video, I laughed my ass of then and forced myself best i could to not lose it doing this vid.

Just cause we all take ourselves too seriously some times

@JamesPrestonUK James, I used to feel the same way, and here's some insights about the CRC, I don't play a 6 string when i try its awful. I struggled with a few tunes here and asked for help, and wow people here helped me bring some of my favorite songs to life. In many ways the CRC is very similar to a real life band. We are all creative talented people here, we forge friendships, have fun and yes sometimes piss each other off. Like I said sounds like every band you've ever heard of right? Sure everyone has their own stuff to work on, but no one i have met here has not been helpful, thoughtful and enthusiastic about what we all do.. have fun and enjoy the ride! Jerry

This is turning out to be great therapy for my fingers :) Blasted out the Beatles for Terry, and then recorded this Sabbath tune, just cause, hell its too awesome not too!!! Then some The Verve, and a Talking Heads tune I love, And she was.. But here's the Sabbath... You Six stringers guys need some Tony Iomi in your lives to get your blood moving ;)

Terry, Thanks, but i feel the same way when i watch you 6 stringers do your thing :) I cant even begin to imagine how that all works... Here is your Michelle, Bass plays smooth and fine, no recommended changes on that end... This was after playing it once to figure out what Sir Paul is up too, hes a sneaky monkey.... https://youtu.be/xhXEChaFxDA

And why not some awesome BOC :)

Now that we are all awake :) Recorded the audio for this about a year ago, my first actual mixed play-through, so you could say this was the song that started all the nonsense, and blame it on John Entwistle

@@avdocatwork Hey Terry, Thanks for the kind words, and for all you do to put out some awesomeness for all of us. So here is your Norwegian wood... https://youtu.be/ifi2-ccOAPM
