    Candy cola is one of my fave color. Have you ever thought of adding a dark tortoise pickguard? :cool:

    Got it back yesterday...let's just say that it no longer sounds like a traditional P bass. It now has an extremely hi-fi/modern sound, which is what I wanted. I know some of you P bass purists would probably be upset with the tone, but my two Jazz basses get me the passive Fender tone.

    I'm having the most ridiculously childish problem ever :p

    I'm looking to get a P in November. I already have one but it's a bog standard, MiM that is to be completely honest, nowhere near what I want these days. It makes me sad because I swear, no bass excites me like a P-bass.

    So I'm looking at a Deluxe Active P-Bass Special, Maple neck. However, I can't decide between the black and gold, the red and gold and the silver and gold. Does anyone have one of the three so they could take a photo? I can only see them online in the stock photos and it's hard to judge. I dont want to order a €800 guitar and it to get here and look awful :D

    again, apologies for the terrible nature of this. As a way of apologising, here's my current Precision. It had a white pickguard but I replaced it with black.

    You can never go wrong with black and maple. Look through the Black & Maple Club thread and you'll probably see one of those Specials. Good luck with whichever you get.

    Here in Italy they didn't arrive yet! Wish they had (and a buddy of mine wish tht 2). Too bad I bought my 2008 just a year ago, I should have waited since I haven't used it that much! :D
     
  12. I'm not really sure how this works... but I'd like a number please.
    Here's my 1997 American Deluxe Precision

    That's exactly how it works. You ask for a number, prove that you are eligible, and you'll get one assigned to you.

    Hey Nick, can I get a number for my white and black P higher up this page? :)

    Also ordered a second P. Very excited. It's an active with maple neck, Jazz pickup and Jazz neck. I adore Precisions

    I'm not a big fan of black basses (personal thing, I realise im in the minority :bag: ) and the red didnt look great with the gold so I was more than happy to get the silver :D
