So- went to GC to pick up a SM57 mic, yesterday, and checked out basses (of course ;))- saw this Player series P- said to wifey: ‘this feels really light... would be comfy for my back’... like I need another P bass :rolleyes: !

This morning wifey sez: ‘why don’t I buy if for you- for Valentines Day’?!? I ‘accepted’!!!

Just returned home (needs a setup, etc., badly)...

Got a few $ off & tried to get a gig bag (or something) thrown in... my guy check in the back & returns with a Fender (C&G) hard case... It is for a Jazz & I only use gig bags... but I took it- will sell (or donate) at some point :thumbsup:

Nice score! The burst looks classy with no signs of “clown burst” to it. Any plans for tort? :D

Thx- I’m just super-excited bout the weight!! all my basses go thru ‘rigorous’ mods... will be working on that in the coming weeks (hours :laugh:). My Sonic Blue restore/refin may get parted-out... could ‘pinch’ the Tort from it?!? hmmm :thumbsup:

great move to accept her generosity! :laugh:

wow, that's a nice looking ax! beautiful! i get the 'tort appreciation' but that ax doesn't need anything to say "i'm a player." congratulations on your lucky accident, your thoughtful wife, and of course: your new instrument! :thumbsup:

Thx!! hehe- me thinks it would be quite ‘un-husbandly’ to say ‘no’... right! :)

a few (quick) mods... tort guard, SD QP pup & Amer Dlx bridge (has the 3 slots, for width adj) which I put on all my basses :thumbsup:

Don't you hate when that happens? Last year I went into a local guitar store to get a XLR cable, came home with the cable and a 5 string bass.
