I recently sold my '11 Fender American standard P Bass. I played around with a wide variety of strings from flat wounds to DR High Beams rounds in search of the right tone for both finger style and pick playing. Never quite happy. I owned a '68 Fender P Bass when I was a kid, but must not have...
I had the identical P bass color ... I replaced the original white w/white pearl. I also added the chrome bridge & pick up covers, along with a thumb rest. Looked great & got plenty of compliments about it.
