@Wolfenstein666 - that fingerboard is outstanding. I can see how that would catch your eye! Nice score!

Cool bass!
Now you just need a matching noir Rickenbacker.
I think I saw one in the classifieds....

As much as I would love that I don't think the funds are quite there.

lol! If you bought mine, you could take great comfort in knowing you saved over $1000 as compared to this one... (no affiliation)

While this is true, the sad thing is that even though it's way overpriced it'll still sell.

Let me get a number! Here's a snap of my long time main bass, my 2011 Roger Water Signature Precision w/Mods, next to my newly acquired 1999 Rickenbacker 4003. Both are my main gigging basses, and I just took the Ric to it's first show tonight and it SLAYED! Also in the pic provided it my 2 Fender Bassman amps and my 2 Custom made Mauler 2x15 based on the green boy Dually's.

My hoard has shuffled around significantly in the past couple months, so I'll post an update.
Traded a Geddy Lee Jazz (MIM) for a Precision Noir (MIM). The Noir unfortunately had to be moved due to an expensive car repair. That brought me down to 4 basses.
I sold my first ever nice bass (Ibanez Prestige SOL). This was a tough one because there was a lot of nostalgia and good memories attached to it, and it was well worn so I knew I'd take a hosing on the price. I ended up selling it to my old guitar player who has a home studio. It worked out super well : I know he'll use it and take care of it and he got a great studio bass at a great price. That brought me down to 3 basses.
My Alvarez I got as a gift. I don't really want it, never use it, and can't sell it. So I don't even count it.
THEN I started playing guitar. A lot. All the time. And I LOVE it, been having an absolute blast learning. So I bought one, then quickly upgraded, and now I'm trying to offload the first one.
Still a member though!

Feel your pain on the 'Noir' Precision disposal due to car expenses. I think the 'Noir' is a lovely looking bass. The Matt finish and Pickguard with the red in it look great.
Well, I must resign my number. 
Going through some serious life changes currently and trying to get my crap together and focus on my future. I'm pairing down my bass collection to one (!) and that is not the P, I'll be keeping the RIC. Working on getting my first place by myself so I won't have to deal with roommates when I start college again next month, and I need to try to liquidate some assets.
I vow to be back one day though! My P is on sale in the classifieds in case any of you other hoarders want to gander at the goodies.

We're keeping you as an honorary member, the number is reserved in your name when you are in a position to get another P bass. You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave!
You’re the best! I’m on p bass probation.
This P is VERY loud with that MFD pickup. I patch all three of these basses into the Active input.
Yeah! The G&L MFD split-coil is the absolute loudest passive pickup I've ever used. AND it is still quite clear sounding compared to most high-output pickups (which are usually also overwound). I used to have those pickups on both of the Ps a few posts up, but now the Ibanez has a Fralin and the Lakland has a Lollar. I still have the best of the MFDs to switch out if I need a more mid-forward P again (the Lollar is a happy mid-ground between the MFD and a more traditional P IMO).
