Went into my local Guitar Center yesterday just to kill some time and found a used 50's P for $400!!! One ding down to the wood on the bottom of it and a few on the headstock but thats it. Grabbed it and said...MINE! lol. Honey Blonde looks awesome!

Great bass, great price, and my favorite finish. I have a fiesta red one (the dealer told me blonde was not available). I installed a Basslines Quarter Pound and Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats on it and gigged with it steadily until I got my AV '57 last fall.

Just installed the fender 62 pickup in it. Had one in a different bass and wasnt real impressed, I usually use quarter pounds. But I wanted to try it again in this bass and I like it!

I have a Honey Blonde 50's P bass- I dropped in a 70's era Dimarzio Model P and I used it for alot of gigs-- one was when we opened for Rick Springfield and the bass kicked butt!. The PA helped I'm sure but the tone was there. The Classic and the Roadworn Mexi bass I have really impress me. I've bonded pretty good with both. I have changed pickups in them though. The Roadworn is my favorite Mexi bass.
