Exactly. If I only had one bass, It would be all black. lucky to have 4
I have a p bass just like that but with roesewood fingerboard and a black leather strap. Couldn't be more rock
I was thinking the same thing and I'm going to, but my guitarist said the brown strap makes it look like "gentlemanly and classy", which I do agree with but since I use strap locks on both my basses I'll just switch straps/basses whenever I fancy a certain combo.
That thing is ready to take on anything.Well technically, it's new bass week because this came in the mail on Wednesday from the classifieds here for $700 shipped with a very nice hardcase (thanks birminghambass) but I didn't get around to sharing until today. I saved up for a while and was looking for a "lifetime" instrument, a main axe, something for 90% of gigging and recording etc. and this doesn't disappoint. Playability and tone are exactly what I was looking for and I have no complaints, just a nice, classy, simple yet perfect instrument. Threw on some roto 66's (my favorite strings) and she roars. Corona, California factory and the neck says the date is October 2002. It really is in mint condition and I'm glad I pulled the trigger on this one.
OMG I am having this problem right now. I I know I won't have buyer's remorse once I commit to, but I might wish I had bought the other bass first. CS pups make both those basses SHINE. I've been hanging around my local music store a lot recently...
OP, very nice buy. How's that maple neck? I'm about 90% sold on the rosewood Std P bass nearby.
Amazon.com: Fender American Deluxe 4-String Bass Bridge Assembly ('04-'10), Chrome: Musical InstrumentsMy bridge doesn't have the top-load option...
If you're so inclined, it's a drop-in replacement for your bridge. I've got one on my 2009 AmStd Precision.

Meh. I like the new Am. Std ones better but it doesn't bother me much. The tuners do; they're pretty darn heavy on my 2001.

I like the new AmStd bridge OK, but given a choice between high mass and bent plate, I will go with bent plate every time.
Very nice. Just like mine, except I have a rosewood fretboard. Congrats!
