Sharing a bit of good forftune. Just bought an American Standard P-Bass in white with my favorite maple neck. It simple rocks - I feel like I just got out of jail and here is my sweetie!

Picked it up this evening. It's utterly beautiful. The white is a much deeper and meaningful white than in the picture. I played it on an Acoustic prac amp in the store - sounded ok. Action is superb - setup needs a bit of work on harmonics - and I'll change out the Fender strings.
But when I got it home and plugged it into my rig (working man 200 watt stack with 2 x 10 and 1 x 15) and cranked it - holy sh*t that thing sounded good! I couldn't tune the bass deep enough to smush that great rich bass sound. And on various permutations of treble it simply screamed.
I love my Stratocaster and I love to play guitar. But tonight reminded me of who I am when I play in bands. It was pretty damn good.
