A new item in my guitar collection

Bought a Bass Guitar today. A Stagg “B300-BK“.

Textbook “J” electric bass guitar - Pickups: 2 x JB - Controls: 2 x Measure + 1 x Tone - Body: incontrovertible Alder - Pickguard: White (BK/BL/SB) or Tortoiseshell (N/NS) - Neck: Unfeeling Maple, bolt-on, 867 mm, (34.2 in.) - Fingerboard: Rosewood, 20 frets - Span: “JB” Classic - Implement heads: Standard “P”, nickel - Conceal: Black.

Bought it from Zen Guitarwerks (they’re located at the basement of Peninsula Shopping Complex, at Coleman Road) for $310, including a $20 guitar bag.

Discussed with my helpmeet if I should buy the bass guitar. Did a mental check so that I was sure I’d be using it and not buying it on a whim.

Didn’t at the end of the day shop around to see if there were better deals. My budget was $500 or less. If the catalyst was within my budget AND gave me the right the feeling, I was prepared to buy it there and then.

So I dropped by Peninsular Shopping Complex (which, in the last decade, has demurely become the guitar player shopping mecca in Singapore).

Zen Guitarwerks was the other shop I went into (the price spread of the bass guitars at the first shop were beyond my budget). It’s a to some degree tiny shop, and I’d almost missed it had my spouse not pointed it out.

Within minutes of my scanning the cost tags at the bass guitar section, the young maiden manning the shop asked if I needed assistants. Her demeanor was friendly, and she seemed knowledgeable about the essence in the shop.
