Okay, I bought this about a month ago, but it's still new to me! I've been playing bass for about 20 years, and have been playing a modded MIM Fender P-Bass that whole time. Well, the strap let go, and it met with the floor hard. No body damage, but it needed some intonation and neck work to get it back in shape. While I was waiting for the guys at our local shop to look at my bass, I wandered into the bass room to check things out. I quickly noticed an '06 60th Anniversary P-Bass hanging on the wall. Picked it up, and it looked pristine... even had the plastic on the pick guard. Turns out, it was part of a consignment lot from a guy who could no longer play guitar.

Long story-short, They made me a great deal on it, and I brought home my first American Fender Bass. Can't believe how much better it plays than my MIM P-Bass. Also came with a really cool silver, vintage-style, case with the 60th anniv. logo inside the lid. Love it!

Congrats! Beautiful Bass. Hope it brings you years of enjoyment.

It would look great with a tort guard.
