I feel the same about my '62 P Bass - I play other basses live now as I would be devastated if anything happened to it, and even had other old P Basses that just didn't compare. My '79 Stingray is a great bass as well, and really light in comparison to other 'Rays I've played. I also love my Warwick Thumb which seems to have that something that other Thumbs I've tried doesn't have.
