I want a fake ID so I can order from the kids' menu
I’m trying to get closer to the point where I can go in anywhere and get the senior citizen discount. There’s gotta be some perks for all the gray that’s rolling in!
If it's at a place that 'knows' you, your niece/nephew is visiting.

Something to remember for that future date we all convene in Florida to check out GP’s band and he asks if we wanna hit the local McDonald’s for an after-gig snack! Oh, who cares, I’ll be there and even eat the Kid’s Meal!
I did hear back from the record pickguard seller: no lefties for now, but "we're thinking of expanding our offering." Tells me that he's a seller, not a maker.
Did you check out the black transparent maple pickguard from the first place? No cheeseboard I've ever seen looks like that. I think it would look dy-no-mite!

I hadn’t looked yet as it’s on the lower-end of the priority list, but I promise I will when I have a spare minute. Work is starting to creep into my summer vibe.
At the moment, I’m really digging the straight black pg that’s back a couple pages. I was originally wanting the white pearloid but my thoughts seem to be changing.
Hmm, could be a problem there too.Cool pickguards, but no Precision guards - only Jazz..
I think I'm showing my personal window shopping here.Gilroy will make custom ones for pretty much any instrument, so he'd be the one I'd talk to for this.

What??? Abandon ship...abandon ship!

Yeah, I know. Come to think of it, I believe you’re the one who posted that picture of the black-on-blue P.
Like I told Rod, it’s down the list for now. I did get the Dunlop buttons and screws to put my straplocks on. Might be a job for tonight.
I’m also gonna table the vintage bridge for now too. As I read and can see, the less expensive bridge on the MIMs has a center slot the string runs through which is fine IF the strings run between their respective pickup poles.
My E string doesn’t though and maybe it’s not a big deal, but with the vintage bridge, which has no slot, I can realign the strings to align perfectly. But I’m gonna give this one a chance in order to maintain the lighter body weight which I do like. If I don’t notice any lack of sustain or loss of volume with the E (and I haven’t so far), I may leave well enough alone.
SR, I write all this to give you adequate food for thought as you head into P-land momentarily.
My P-land indoctrination will begin when I get the P and the Labella heavy strings installed. At that point, I will be able to offer some thoughts. In the meantime, I have checked the "?" next to the 2 day shipping promise and found that it only applies to non-discounted sales. Apparently, my 15% off negates that and I will receive it next Tuesday...four business days plus two weekend days. It pays to read the "?" fine print. But, I have waited over 50 years for a P Bass so another week doesn't really matter (although, if I am not 100% satisfied, it will go back because of this). Saving $105 is worth it, provided they deliver what was promised.
Will see what happens next week. I am hopeful.
Even though that is disappointing, Jim, you have to look at the bright side. It’ll be on its way soon, the excitement is gonna build, and then when the big day comes you will be ready.
I’d say get your recording studio all in order prior to the arrival and then go back to Page 1 of the Combo Club and read all the posts until next Tuesday. How’s that?

Here's my midnight confessional (actually, it's 2:15). After playing for hours and not recording a thing, I realized the Jazz and I are done. Kaput. Finished. Something has happened between us the past few months where I just lost the tone I loved with it. I tried so hard to get a P-bass sound I've now lost my Jazz sound and feel lost playing it. I'm so darn used to the LaBellas that nothing else feels right, even though the Fender flats are beginning to mellow.
So I'm working on "Happy" by Pharrell Williams because it looks to be the next orchestra piece, and the Precision is laying a great groove where every note has punch and volume. It's making me stop to look in the mirror and ask, "Is that you?" Then I went to the Rogue and even though the overall volume level is quite lower, the overall tone is fine as it zips around the fretboard playing. Doesn't sound as good to my ears, but different and that's okay. Then the Jazz. At first, I'm rocking with the deep notes but there are no mids, or at least not like the P's mids. It doesn't feel good in my hands, the rosewood board sounds dark, and I'm not enjoying it. As soon as the song is done, the bass is off and back on the stand for the night. I somehow killed it and yet, no one has arrested me.
Has the Precision vexed me this quickly? You P-players, have you succumbed to its siren voice as well? With the combination of the feel of the neck, the comfort of the body, and the playability, I may never return from P-land ever again, except to use the Beatle bass for certain songs. When I hit a note, like on Billy Joel's "Vienna," it sounds just like the record. I know, it sounds dumb, but this has become a new world for me. I've never owned anything, musically-speaking, where the fewest controls have given me the most appreciation of what it can do. Tweaking either the volume and/or tone rewards you with the same basic tone, but with just a slight nuance to it. The Ibanez I was looking at had two volumes, a blend, an onboard three-band EQ, and I think a couple of switches that brewed coffee. I'm not that kinda musician who needs it all.
I was still tweaking tonight with intonation as I could tell my A-string was a little flat, but even that is fun to do. And I've only had this thing for a week! Wait until I get to know it. I know with confidence I have found that tone in my head (finally) and can only hope you all do too in case you haven't yet. It's there, keep looking. Soul Reflection, when that bass you just purchased gets to you, don't talk to anyone, don't listen to anyone, don't even buy a pizza. Just get to your music room and begin the romance. If yours makes you half as happy as mine does for me, you will love it.
Okay, sleep deprivation has caught up. Thank you for reading this very sentimental review. I'll discuss hardware and the like down the road for those interested. What I may do though is strip the Jazz of the vintage bridge, put it back to stock, add the bridge to the P, and sell the Jazz. Between the Precision and Rogue, I'm good. I'd as soon let someone else enjoy it. Plus, I think I'm due for a combo or something. But that's how strongly I feel for this hunk of wood and wire.
Good night to all on this planet! Play some bass tomorrow...

Give it time. In my experience, things change quickly, and in a few weeks or months you might feel very differently. I’ve fallen in and out of love with every single bass I own several times, and my current favourite (a Fender P, admittedly) was once my least favourite. So don’t do anything you might regret to your Jazz, at least for a little while.Here's my midnight confessional (actually, it's 2:15).

Every bass that's not a Stingray still sounds strange to me. Playing my Chowny CHB-1 daily, and pick up the Ray again Sunday night for a bit. Yes. That's the Ray.
The original Music Man strap, now 41 years old, is officially retired. The ends are too worn to be secure, and the Fender washers (Grolsch style washers with good breeding) are just too thick to secure the strap. This strap served me very well, and is far and away the most comfortable strap I've ever owned.
There is no doubt I will record Sunday, and the signal chain looks like bass > pedalboard (MXR Vintage Bass Octave > HPF > VT Bass Deluxe) > PJB BG-400 [DI] > ProSonus > fame + fortune + happiness + and a pony
The Vintage Bass Octave pedal has a feature for a bump at 400 hz or 800 hz. I've got it set to ~1 db @ 400 hz and pretty much leave it on. It's a pretty cool pedal for playing up there in 12th fretland.

Quite the post in the middle of the night there o fearless one! As a very happy owner of a J and a P and a PJ, you have to understand they are all different animals and each does what it does wonderfully!
@JakobT gives sound advice!!
The Precision is still very new to you, you are obviously enamored by the simplistic beauty and majesty of Leo's creation - and rightfully so! I would just hold tight for now and not do anything you may regret (like selling your Jazz - sacrilege!) And above all - enjoy the PUNCH of that Precision!!
You will never get a solid P sound out of a Jazz. The newness of your P has taken over for now. Give the Jazz a rest and come back to it later. You will find that it serves a purpose and does it very well!
Jazz is scooped and that's the beauty! There are many tunes where the J is the fight fit (for me) and many songs that the P is just right. That's why everyone should own at least one of each!
@JakobT gives sound advice!!I guess my question is why put on a "vintage" bridge over the stock one? Appears to be same exact bridge except for more grooves on the saddle for vintage. Now if you're going high-mass, I can understand the switch - but changing stock for vintage seems to be a lateral move with no perceived benefit...
