OK, quickie update before bed. Took ROJO5 to the gig tonight. Played her a bit at soundcheck, but stuck with the BG5 for the first set. TOTALLY forgot how to play a J after playing the P exclusively for the past month. Anyway, pulled her out for set 2, and got a LOT of comments on the finish, and she sounded great. Third set is a rocker, so went back to the BG, but overall, I'm REALLY happy with both....
 
UNTIL you play a BG....I had a GREAT 50th anniversary Fender P (Butterscotch and maple neck) that was really nice....was a "keeper" - well, after having my BG for a week or so, the Fender went on the block....

try a BG and then see......(I even rhymed it for you young man!!)

this IS a place for information - you said it yourself....

tell us more about your P...year/country of origin etc.....

Well, as I was saying, it's got sentimental value.
It's my dad's '72 American P (which he got second hand). It's got a J pup installed at the bridge, bridge changed for BadAss II, Basslines pups, and it's gone from 3TSB with black pickguard (never seen it like that) to some sort of White with Black PG, to now a natural finish and a Stingray style control plate. It's my first bass, and it's not without it's faults, i.e heavy, slight buzz on neck, 8th fret or so on the E (my D) string. So I don't think I'd get much for it, but it still plays and sounds great, I love it.

Luke.
