I bought a bass!

I’m really quite excited.

I took the day off work yesterday to have my car looked at - he was making some suspicious crunching noises, which have thankfully now been rectified.

I figured while we were in Ashgrove I’d go to Guitar Brothers in Red Hill to survey their collection of Dean basses.  I was considering buying an electric guitar, but Nathan has a plethora at home that I’m always welcome to use.  I’ve pretty much staked a claim in one of them anyway

I’d already done some research at home.  I hit up the the Dean website to check out their range of basses and fell in love with a few in particular - the Metalman 2A collection.

Luckily, Guitar Brothers had a couple in stock.  They had the regular ML Metalman, the Metalman 2A Z and the V.  I decided upon the Z.  Nathan had a quick play with it in the store and gave it two thumbs up, so I bought him.  On the way home, we named him Murphy.

I barely put him down for the rest of the afternoon.  I bought a 10w Kustom practise amp as well, so I can listen to all the mistakes I’m making.
