It's not quite new bass day yet, but I recently bought a Schecter Model T from talkbass that *should* arrive tomorrow, and today I bought an Avatar TB153 locally through craigslist. I feel like I got some pretty decent deals on both of them, and I have had my eye on both items for some time, so I'm pretty stoked. I know I need to supply some pictures, but it might be a little while since I may have to be on the road for work on Friday.

For the uninitiated, the Model T is a PJ Schecter bass with the 50s P bass design (kind of looks like a tele with the control plate). I think it's Robert DeLeo's signature bass or something. My guess is that the neck is Jazz bass-ish, but I shall find out. It comes with SD Basslines pickups.

The Avatar TB153 is a 4-ohm (my version, anyway) cab with an Eminence Kappalite Neo 3015LF 15" speaker in it, but it also has a 6" speaker for mids and a horn for high frequencies, with a 3-way crossover to direct the bass signal. Due to the neo speaker it is pretty light at around 60 lbs. I have been sweating one for some time and missed out on one a few months ago on CL, but I got this one at a decent price, so I can sell it if it doesn't click for whatever reason. Unfortunately, my head is current at the drummer's house where we rehearse, so all I can really do is look at it right now. All in due time.

So yeah, buying stuff is fun, huh? I now have 3 bass cabs and 2 basses after committing to a life of musical asceticism. That's not working out quite so well...
