My free Fender coffee beans are all gone. My plans to spend this entire wait period all nervous and jittery have now been cut short.

They should give you a loaner like a beat up 1960 Jazz Bass during the wait

OH MY!!!

8.55 lbs!

I'm still at work, so I haven't been able to plug it in yet, but... other than a few minor details, this bass is up to par with my $4500 Custom Shop bass.

The alder they used for the body is RIDICULOUS... it shimmers in the light. I don't think I've seen anything like it.

I hate factory setups, so I'm really excited to get home and set this beauty up and play it.

DAMN!!!

Really nice. Great choice of options. Maple/2tsb and gold anodized. Classic! Love that look in a P bass.
