The silver pearl colour is very attractive, which is what caught my eye - mind you it was sitting between two Jazz sunburst models, so it stood out like a sore thumb...!
Four years on and I'd be lost without this instrument.

Standard Series P Bass features American Series pickups, tastefully engraved neckplate, satin tinted neck, and an eye-catching Blizzard Pearl finish to commemorate the diamond Anniversary of Fender (1946-2006), and commemorative gig bag.
Adler Body - maple 'C' shape neck. Rosewood fingerboard.
New Knurled Chrome P Bass Knobs.
I have La Bella Hard Rockin Steel Strings on it (45/65/85/105) which sound great but are a little harsh on my poor old fingers...
I play with some accomplished musicians who have all commented favourably on the tone of this guitar. I play through a Fender Rumble 100 amp with a 15" speaker and it sounds fantasticly warm & full to my ears.
We play rock & blues - of course if you have a look at anyone playing rock &/or blues, 90% will be using a P Bass.
I've used it for nearly 4 years and it still looks & feels new. I do take excellent care of my intruments! Only issue has been with the original nut, which broke due to misuse by someone else - but a new bone replacement has been holding solidly for 12 months.

It plays nice, it has semi-jumbo frets.
I use a PA system, but it still sounds very smooth. You can turn the knob to make it crunchy, good for slappin.
