| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Blimp City | | | Ones i have had and liked were MIM classic 50's P...great bass. Today one of my top players is an MIJ 83' SQ Squier P bass. The build and quality is top's as good as any Fender I have ever played from any time period. The neck is slim and sick fast with tons of tone at 100% stock and thats where it will stay. I also like good old 70's P basses and found a nice one in my 79' mocha/maple neck P, 10lbs and plays like a dream...sounds like a good old classic P bass.
IMO Fender did it right with the P bass. No reason to mess with what works and will keep on working long after allot of the others are gone. BTW none of these basses cost half of 2k.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Grand Rapids, Michigan | | I'm really enjoying my 2002 Squier Affinity P-Bass. It's completely stock, wearing either D'Addario Chromes of DR SS Lo-Riders (I switch back and forth a lot.) It's tone never seems to fail me. The alder (I think) body weighs around 8 lbs. The neck is smooth and has nice girth. I could play it all day Not bad for $100 used from GC!!

| | | | My '84 SQ series MIJ Squier. Modded to hell.
Schaller tuners, 105 fretwire, replacement bridge, Basslines Quarter-pounders, 500k pots, tortoiseshell PG, chrome pickup and bridge covers... I've never played a bass I like more than my own.

| | | | My $75 used SX P-bass.
I like this one every bit as much as the several MIA Fenders I had from the 70's.
This SX looks, sounds and plays great. I wish these were around 30 years ago. |

But I'd say my Deluxe Active is pretty damn sweet. Jazz neck, active electronics, Jazz pup. All I need is a mirrored PG.
