I guess I'll add my '65 P to the list. It's been refinished a few times in its life, but now it sports its best colors.

Did you ever spend 45 minutes writing and editing a post for TB, only to have nobody reply to it and watch it disappear down to page 6!? Well, I think I've just had that experience with the thread about my new Fender Custom Shop '61 P Bass

It gets used pretty regularly. I still gig with it on occation, (as pictured earlier in the thread) and use it in the studio.
Here's another "working" shot with it from a month or 2 ago.

76 Fender P Bass, now the covers and the thumbrest is removed, and the pickup and the bridge is replaced with a Seymour Duncan Quarterpound and a Badass II (dont sweat, neither of those parts replaced where original to the bass, exept for maby the bridge, but i still have kept pickups, bridge and covers.)
