    Beautiful 5 string P bass on Ebay...I think I'm in LOVE!!!

    Me too. I've got a nice 2012 P-bass FSR in mahogany on which this pick guard would look killer. I am also imagining all gold hardware on this P-bass as well. :hyper: Thanks for the tip and the general inspiration CH!

    How many of you do this when playing bass?

    I do this too to get the tension off the muscles in my hands and arms while keeping track of the groove.

    Bassist's happiness - a short story
