Thanks for the link. I'll ask them if they ship over to Germany...
Edit: Just noticed that I already contacted them via their ebay shop... But $90 including shipping costs is too much for a pickguard...I think I'll get some material and make one myself (did that before, but much work).

Thanks
I love my Fiesta Red P
This one (white pearl, as opposed to the antique i.e. aged white pearl on the LPB 50's) comes from Jeannie's too. 62,06 EUR, and that includes shipping and the 10 EUR Belgian customs charged just for having a peek into the parcel...

That guy Roger does sterling work!
That's why I asked everyone to PM me for a number. Too easy to miss people. Sorry about that. You are #92.
Ordered it from Warmoth, they will do just about any combination you want. Doesn't show up in the pics much, but it's Birdseye Maple, quite pretty stuff actually.
Cheers!
Wow! This kind of modding, added to the actual sound of that simple pup, the playing comfort (contour plus hi-mass bridge) and the overall look, makes one wonder why there are any other bass models on the market at all!Here's mine, fresh off the bench from my refin in CAR. Now one of my favorite basses in my stable...
Cheers!
I know, I know, de gustibus et coloribus non disputandum est, but still, but still...
Well, 20+ year drummer checking in to the cool kids club. I've picked around on just about any instrument I could get my hands on basically all my life but for some reason when I was a kid I settled on the drums. Basically in recent history I have gotten tired of my friends and fellow band members calling me a non-musician so I've decided I better get serious about something that actually plays notes. I've owned a couple of basses in the past but they either ended up being sold to my dad who plays or traded off in favor of drum equipment or firearms.
Last week I stopped by my local GC and picked up the white/tort CV Jazz but after doing a little research and talking it over with some friends I decided that a P bass might work better for me. I like the weight difference also. So I did a little web surfing and discovered that my GC happened to have a used CV Fiesta Red/tort P in stock. To make a long story longer, yesterday I headed up there with my J bass and left the store with the used P that looks brand new, a brand new Acoustic B20 for the house, and a cable for about $9 out of pocket. I feel pretty good about that deal. So now I've spent pretty much all day on TB looking through setup instructions, pickup and string options and looking for pictures of different pick guards on fiesta red. I'm thinking about dr high beam strings and a black pearl pick guard but I'm still not set on pickups yet. I'm not really set on the black pearl pg either but I will be ordering one in some color in the next couple of days. Anyway, you guys have a great site and I am going to enjoy my stay here. I have so much to learn. Now off to watch some "Bass for Beginners" dvd's and youtube videos so I can finally feel like one of the musicians.
The obligatory pic of my stock bass (I'll take better ones when I get it setup just right):

Truly amazing. Thanks for posting those pics.
I think CAR is waaaaaay better than Fiesta Red.
Agreed. My Mom used to make Campbell's tomato soup with miilk instead of water, and Fiesta Red reminds me of that color.
Yuk.
Is that a J-width neck on this beauty?? Where'd you find it & how'd you get it to fit?
EDIT: ...and it has 21 frets, too...WANT!!!
