The perennial problem, eh? What to wear? Do I go for old or do I go for modern? Rough or smooth? Fat or thin? How does this make me look? What does this outfit say about me?

Well, what you need is a new instrument to revitalise yourself and to turn into a brand new music person. Yes, with just a little effort and a fat bag of money you could become something that will astound and astonish your friends. People who don't know you will turn on their heel and will not fail to be impressed. Now, is that the kind of thing you want? It's like a new you. Wow!

They do. A new, old Fender bass. You have to like it, don't you, if you like popular music of the last forty years. Andy
