NBD: My first Fender, MIM Precision

DerekW... you can't have that P-bass sitting all alone though.. you need one of these to keep it company. :)
I just got this last week, same color. Black pickguard has been shipped and coming in a few days.

If I needed to pick 2 basses to have, and only 2 - I would pick the P and the J. (In fact, I have 14 basses and am considering putting everything up on the block - I'm happy with keeping the 3 Fenders - the P, Jazz and a JP-90.) I wish my P was that Midnight Wine color though.

The pickup upgrade will make your P-bass sound so sweet! It seems like you've got all the bases covered (no pun intended) in making for an awesome bass.

I do have another bass, a handmade exotic wood bass with active Bart's in it. I had it made by a local luthier about 20 years ago, and it is sweet, so I've got my basses ;) covered for now. But thanks for looking out for me :)

Edit: technically, I have 4 basses, an acoustic made by the same luthier, and the Squier pj which I'll likely sell.

I only need two basses...would love to add a third baby to my family but I don't have that much space for a third bass anyways.

For sale:
One extremely rare MIM pickguard. Mint condition, a real closet queen.
This colour has rarely been seen and came straight from the Fender Custom Shop.
It was called "White".. Very exotic sounding, no? I think it's French.

If I'm correct, there was only something like 3.7 million of these made. And I can't verify, but I'm told this one was owned by John, from Iowa. You may have heard of him. He played in that band and drove a car and wore jeans.

Asking $275 shipped, or trade for a Midnight Wine Jazz Base with a BLACK pickguard.

lol.. heck, I just might take you up on that offer!
now to really get you going, that Midnight Wine Jazz I just bought last week , was bought perhaps just 10 - 20 miles from you across the border (near Port Huron) so it would have cost you a piddly $6 bridge toll across the Blue Water Bridge to come get it.............in excellent condition........for $200.:)
