Pics for now, I can give some thoughts a little later:

nice one travis =)

its yours? thought you're mm hardcore

 

[TSanders]

Yup, its mine. I swear by EBMM basses. Perfect for what I do.

However, I have a soft spot for P Basses. This one hits the spot.

 

[Btone]

Stunning. Classic. Those guys know how to do it. Looks like a one piece body. Superb finish. This is the one with the DiMarzio pups, right?

And put those chrome covers on right away!

Congratulations and enjoy!

Maybe I'm missing something...is that thumb rest UNDER the strings?

 

[Captain Chaos]

What do the pickup covers say?

No, it's a palm rest.

 

[BassGod]

What do the pickup covers say?

Was wondering that myself. Sort of looks like the first word is DiMarzio, but the second one I can't make out.

"Collection"? Don't know.

 

[Juniorkimbrough]

NICE!

 

[TSanders]

Yes, it says DiMarzio collection.

Really a good sounding pickup.

The body is 2 piece, but you have to look to find the "line".

Seriously good P-Bass here. In all honesty, I like it just as much, if not more than the MIA 57 reissue I owned a while back.

Back in the days (I think before the late 60s-early 70s) what became the thumbrest was actually a "tugbar" to aid players in the transition for upright to electric. Im a bog ball of useless knowledge.

Your first impression of the tuners? At least on my CIJs, they're ok, but nothing more. They use better tuners on some models, who knows why.

Nice one Travis...I've been forever GASsin' for a P...never owned one.

I agree. Theyre okay. Nothing special or fancy, but work well enough. I havent had any issues with them going out of tune yet.

Thanks Mike, its a killer bass. You should snag a P. Never hurts to have a good P Bass in the arsenal.

What is that script in white on the pickups? I've never seen that before on a Fender.
