Case donated to a (new) bassist from my church... for those PMing interest, etc! 
That reminds me that I still have a case in storage that I need to throw out. I'd give it to someone, but it has an odd frumunda smell to it. It came with a bass that I really wanted, fortunately the bass didn't smell.
nice V day gift!.looks great with the tort now. "unhusbandly to say no"....you got that right!....now come valentines day, you better be saying yes allday/night long!!
Not sure about the QP's on a fresh P bass, were the originals not any good?....I have a pair on a squire affinity and not really impressed with the mid-scooped sound. Taking a while to get use to them.

A J is an inch wider at the hips - I've encountered a (MIM) Fender case that fit a P snug and not a J. Just sayin'.

So- I’ve had a few QP’s, over the years, and have had one in my #1 since 2012. That bass had Roto SS 66’s until recently- now sporting GHS PW’s- as I’ve ‘softened’ my tone a bit
. I’m going with flats, on the Player, liking the tone of QP’s! I, recently put a 10% overwound Fralin in my #2 (bass )... and have a 10% overwound ‘51 split coil (supposedly arriving today) for my... #3? Here’s my, aforementioned, #1 (SD QP)

Yup... ‘they’ market them for either/or... a P does fit- but ‘flops around’ a bit... dat not good!
The one I spoke of was 'made' to fit a P snug, so both do exist.
Gift vouchers for a Fancy underwear store, or an experience eg. Massage, Art class, pedicure, etc. These take up no space in a Condo. You don’t even have to gift wrap them.Yea- good point
Every time you buy a Pbass an angel gets its wings.....
Its a beauty!
Its a beauty!
Nice bass, nicer wife!

under 8 pound pbass. nice! i’m curious how much weight the quarter pound pickups added. maybe 4 ounces? and how much the high mass bridge will add.
i’ve never seen a case with the accessory pocket there before.
i have 2 precision only cases. one is the silver fender 60th anniversary g&g, the other a tweed fender select g&g. too bad they don’t fit jazzes since i have way more jazzes than precisions.
So- went to GC to pick up a SM57 mic, yesterday, and checked out basses (of course!
This morning wifey sez: ‘why don’t I buy if for you- for Valentines Day’?!? I ‘accepted’!!!
Just returned home (needs a setup, etc., badly)...
Got a few $ off & tried to get a gig bag (or something) thrown in... my guy check in the back & returns with a Fender (C&G) hard case... It is for a Jazz & I only use gig bags... but I took it- will sell (or donate) at some point
