Worth The Wait

So I haven't been able to blog much lately because as soon as we got home from vacation we discovered that our computer had crashed while we were gone. Then my laptop did some stupid thing where it just decides that it doesn't want to start. And now that it's finally working I can't actually take it anywhere to get highspeed because I'm afraid it won't start up again. So... I can't get anywhere to upload the rest of my pictures at this point in time so I decided to do a random post about something else.

I have always had a thing for Fender guitars. They are just classic. I love the look and I love the way they play. For years I've wanted to have a nice Strat. Last year I bought myself a used 50's classic Strat off of Craigslist and I LOVE THIS GUITAR! It was even the color I wanted; go figure! It was a long time coming but some things are worth the wait! This summer I decided to by myself a hardshell Fender tweed case because I felt the guitar deserved it! Plus, I wanted one! :)
I have also always wanted a Fender bass but never had the money to buy one which is why I settled for the Ibanez that I traded in tonight.

Lately through a series of circumstances it appears I will be playing bass more often again. I had a 5 string bass and an acoustic that I didn't use very often that I'd been trying to sell for awhile but wasn't having any luck. I finally just decided to see about trading them in and putting the cash toward the Fender bass like I've always wanted. So that's what I did tonight after one last attempt at trying to sell them both.

Before I went into the store I prayed that God would give me a good deal on a trade-in and that's exactly what happened. They offered me more money than they did before when I checked about a trade-in earlier in the year. So tonight I finally purchased my Fender bass. It's a Fender Deluxe P Bass Special. In my opinion it's the best of both worlds. Jazz neck (fast and slim), P Bass body (smaller and lighter), combination vintage pickups, satin finish neck and a ton of tonal range. Chrome Red with a maple fretboard, what more could you ask for? Only one problem... it's on back order. Apparently everyone else thought the same thing. But, I suppose after all, it's worth the wait.
