My son wanted a Pbass, so I bought one for him for Christmas a year ago. I think he played it 4 or 5 times and then May. He said he no longer wanted to play. I thought I NEVER wanted a Pbass, but replaced the EMG active pickups with large pole Seymore Duncan passives, replaced the mirrored pickguard with a white pearloid one and added ashtray cover and metal barrel volume and tone knobs. I really love it now and can't seem to put it down. Thanks, son!!!
