What are you playing today

Mostly playing bass the last couple days. I’m writing a funky bass line that avoids playing at the same beat as the snare (a funk rule of thumb) and lands hard on the one (from the James Brown funk Bible). I haven’t played bass seriously in years, so getting the feel right is both imperative and difficult. But I got my Ibanez bass dialed in so it’s fun to play.IMG_1154.jpeg
 
I'm playing my 1998 Fender American Standard Strat in plum purple metallic that I bought last February 2025. I have another American Standard Strat the same exact year and colour but with a rosewood fretboard. I've had that guitar since 2005 where I got it from a pawn shop.

My bass is an Ibanez PJ. Yours is way prettier. Mines solid black.

I got it brand new in the original packaging for $300. Factory set up was atrocious, but it’s really sweet now.

Bought mine in 93. About the same price as yours. There was a really pretty red one hanging beside it. Same model. But brand new had some checking in the finish. I know that doesn’t affect anything other than looks….. but….. the black one came home with me.

And considering I have never really played it much until this past year…. Happy I didn’t drop big dollars on it when I bought it.
