This is my first Fender P-Bass and I can't stop saying OMG. First the finish; 3 color Sunburst. This bass is gorgeous. It's like she just wants to looked at. White pearloid pick guard, chrome hardware; this is beyond a sexy bass. She is active and man she sounds incredible. Sometimes in a musical journey, you go back to basics. The P-Bass is the first electric bass. It does everything and it does it well. It's like a sure thing, you pick it up and you know exactly what to expect.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of high end basses out there and plenty of player's models but sometimes you just want a P-Bass. This is the one you want. It's Made in Mexico; so what. It is very well made. She came the other day and since it's been so cold, I let the box alone for a day. Opened the box and took out the bass in the hardshell case (Sweetwater shipped it in it's case) Let the case sit for about eight hours then opened the lid. I won't lie but I almost got a stiffy. With the lid open, she sat for another eight hours. She was tuned down only a half step. Tuned her up and that's all I had to do. Right out of the box and no setup.

Yes, I'm an old guy and I like the way things used to be but, new sounds also appeal to me. I wanted a Fender P-Bass to have as my main bass. I have quite a few basses but this girl, she's front and center. If you're on the fence, just look at those pictures. I guarantee you that what you'll see in person will knock you over. This bass is absolutely Stunning! It feels perfect. It looks perfect. It sounds perfect. I'm going to enjoy this P-Bass for the rest of my life. Thanks to Brandon and everyone at Sweetwater!
