Congratulations! Life is short. I'm glad you were able to finally fulfill a dream and hope it delivers above your expectations. What finish did you go for?

Congratulations.

Thanks guys,, I went for the traditional Sunburst- Rosewood board one. The wood grain looks great in the sun.

Big congrats on owning a piece of history (and for feeling 20 again, heh, heh). I have two Fenders, and they're all I need. I keep them both set up in the living room by the TV so I can stare at them. I also gig a lot with them.

Congrats! Music definitely has the power to make you feel younger. I'm 50 but when I'm jamming with my friends I feel better than a 20 year old.

Yay!!!

Nice buy. I love my J, and I'm sure you'll love your P, too. I've been looking at the very same one. Maybe someday...

I'm 51 and considering it too. My Ibby is quite allright, but I played Fenders on a number of occasions and they feel good an they sound so punchy....

 

[Laurie Bass]

Thanks again,, I usually play a Squier Jazz Bass (C.V or V.M.J 77). I do have small hands and usually find a "P" Bass neck to thick for me. Then I tried the American Special back to back with a HWY One and it felt very much like a Jazz,, and I really liked the thump..so how could I not turn it down...

Nice choice, congratulations!

 

[bassnj]

[Pilgrim]

That is a CLASSIC bass. They don't come any more iconic. Enjoy!

Age is a but a number. The joy you get from playing bass lasts forever.

Congrats!

Music is a great way to feel young. I'm 29 and when I'm jamming I feel like I'm -5 again......

In all seriousness though, enjoy the Fender. I love mine and yours sounds like a great bass.

IMHO the best combo ever. myfirst real bass was a 72 SB p bass with rosewood. Enjoy!!!

 

[spiritbass]

Oh yeah. Truly a classic. I'm glad you found one to fit you!
