Got my GF a PINK SX P-Bass!!

First, I am amazed at the quality for the amount spent. I did have to shield the PUP cavity and intonate it, but that's all!

I first put on a spare Gotoh 201 bridge and the string spacing was a little to much (it's a 3/4 30" scale) and it did not sound as good as the stock plate bridge.

That brought me to order a Hipshot Bent Plate bridge for my own Jazz. If I like it better, I am going to get rid of the BadassII that I just "had to have"

I also heard a player with a vintage P-bass (tele style)-- year?, but it sounded excellent and it too had a plate bridge.

Man, I'm really digging this new "Vintage world" and not playing my other modern bass hardly at all.......

That bass fits her really well. Cute girl.

Nice! I've been wondering about the quality of these basses. She looks good with it .

I wish I could get on of those with a 34" scale. That would be rad as heck. Greetings from Athol!

Thanks Guys! I ordered it at 5 in the morning and it got here by 3 the next day! Rondo music is right at a fedex hub, so they just had to put it on a truck. You should not be disappointed...!!

I put the bent plate on tonight. Can't really tell any difference yet. I am using DR Flats and they sound real thuddy anyway. The E string is wrapping around the post where it did not with the Badass II. No real problem there.
