OK, here's my Rick and P... and a 1980 G&L SB1 that might be more of a Fender P than my Fender P.
A man after my own heart! 2 great looking basses there brother!
The one on the left is James Westfall, the one on the right is Dr. Kenneth Noisewater. Number? 
Got the machines swapped to the correct ones. Much happier now. I was going to use my favorite Hipshots but found a set of originals. Not as nice as Hipshot but they work well-enough.....and I put my TI JF344's on there. Really loving it.
Check out my new p bass! The one on the left.
Wolfenstein666 tell us about your new bass. Love the look.
I went into guitar center to get strings and saw it up there. I ended up trading my Geddy Lee Jazz for it. Evidently it's a 'noir' special edition. It was made this year. It's matte black with a brushed black / red / black pickguard with a matching headstock. And the grain is amazing on the neck.
I've seen this beauty displayed within one of threads, and I have to tell you, it looks so at home with the other two...
... nice snag, Wolfowitz! Enjoy!
The matching headstock is what sold it for me. I'm a total sucker for those.

Aaarrrgh... must have been the same time I felt a strange disturbance, in my O-ring...

What if the Precision I want is owned by a Rickenbacker Club member? 
No pictures but I have two of each, Ric 4001, Ric 4003FL and a Fender American hotrod P/J and Tony Franklin fretless P/J.
I had it up for a super reasonable price and I managed to talk the manger at guitar center down to what essentially amounted to a flat trade so it was a good move. And it just looks so sexy. I couldn't not have it.
