Last week we played for a group of Rotarians in Boca Raton, Florida, with 400+ delegates from Delaware, all the way down the East Coast, throughout the Caribbean and ending with one couple from Surinam in South America. The Rotary International President Elect and his wife came from Taiwan. The highlight was the black tie dinner on Saturday. Never thought I would be playing rock in a tux. My AV57P was featured a couple times and she made many new friends. I still am amazed at the sound that bass produces. We gave them a mix of mix of everything in the bag, and they seemed to appreciate every genre, but judging by the dance floor, I would have to say the old Motown tunes won the night. This is perhaps the most rewarding gig I have ever played. I got such a charge out of seeing all those folks, from all those countries, rocking out on the dance floor just like they grew up together in the neighborhood. No doubt that music brings people together. It was really cool to see.

That picture looks like you had a great time. The AV57P looks great and is a great accessory for a tux.

Nice axe. Here's another P-Bass that went good with a tux and a pipe filled with Captain Black:
