Now, it's this. Some might not consider it much of a change, but believe me, it's a considerable one.

Once, this one used to be my favorite bass.

Short-scale, narrow body depth...won't be as loud as a jumbo-body acoustic if you're buying it to play unplugged. The Luminlay markers are nice. I like the 12th-fret marker, too. Other than that... https://youtu.be/JoJLbabnPc0?si=asu40LuFxC2qZQ_Z

I've heard that the rubber ones last for 3 to 6 months. Sounds about right.

I've been saying pretty much the same thing since the day I bought one...one of the smoothest, easy-to-play Precision necks I've ever played, very responsive tone control...better than quite a few of the current Fenders. Looks great with the gold anodized pickguard, too. Absolutely no need to buy any other P bass.

Of course, he just spent over $900 for a set of run-flat tires for his Pontiac Aztek, so...

Bacchus...made me forget all about Fender, Squier, Sire, etc.

Finally had the opportunity to play one today. For anyone worried about the pickup sounding like a mudbucker, no need for concern...this thing sounds great, quite a change in tone rolling off the tone knob. I can only imagine how good it would sound with proper strings. The quality of this bass is surprisingly good, even though I expected as much...and damn, it looks even better in real life! Sweetwater has several and they all seem to be in the 9 pound zone, but I'm guessing the one I played was much closer to 8 pounds. Oh yeah, it does both hard rock 𝘢𝘯𝘥 soft rock with equal conviction...I have to believe it'd make a nice bass for that Motown sound, too. Yes, I've played the Fender Vintera version, but no one would ever be able to convince me to buy one of them instead.

I blew it when I didn't jump on this!

Fender at its best. I don't remember ever seeing a passive Fender PJ before.
