Just wanted to share my latest acquisition. It's a Fender USA Custom Classic Jazz V bass in Bing Cherry Translucent. It's right out of their Custom Shop and it's the finest in quality. The detail and finish is amazing! (I rotated the photo sideways.)

This isn't my only instrument, just the latest to get all the attention...

Very nice!

I started playing guitar many years ago but stopped after losing my lift index finger tip in a sheetmetal brake.

After over 20 years away, a couple of years ago I joined a local adult band and have been playing with them almost every Wednesday evening since then. I play baritone horn.

Sometimes it is a challenge for me also - I have a short left pinky finger. I jammed it when I was a baby and no one noticed it until I started playing guitar at the age of 14! I had an x-ray of that hand (for a minor cyst) and sure enough, you can see where that pinky finger is "defective"!:lol: It is about 1/2" shorter than it should be!!! :mad: There is no knuckle on the top of my hand also...just an indent of where it should be.

Ah yes--the difference between you and me is that you seem to have met the challenge while I just use my fingie as a copout. :tg: Good for you!

I was always better at the horn than guitar anyway.

It's easier to play the bass vs. the standard electric guitar! I also have a Tenor Sax - but I haven't picked it up in a year...terrible.

Nice looking Axe. I have been playing drums for 20-some years. I thought manufacturring was going to be a temporary day job until my talents were discovered. :lol:

I play the classical guitar...5 years ago...i play along with the "real" guitarist of our choir in church. since i had my work afr away from home, I just picked it up occasionally. My fingers became too soft to endure the pressure of the strings and the frets became too wide gor me to reach. :(

I have always dreamed to play like Antonio Banderas in the movie Desperado:rar: ...I can see his fingers fly:jawdrop: between the frets playing the guitar. [email protected] he was good! :agree1: Unfortunately after all that years playing with the thing I've been stuck to the classical A,B,C,D,E,F,G chords.:mad:

I was a killer Kazoo player back when I was a Narc. many was the time I went on stage with a live band and played my heart out to prove that I wasn't no stinkin' cop. (Cop's didn't play Kazoo's, they just sat in the corner and looked tough)

I can't claim to play anything other than the cd changer:lmao: However, here's a picture of one of my multi-talented sons with his band "Silverland" now called "Turning Autumn". Both play(ed) piano, violin and now drums, guitar (electric lead, elect. bass and acoustic), keyboards and vocals! I guess the talent thing jumped a generation with me:notme:
