That's a great deal on a American Standard P Bass. If you have more Bass shopping to do, there's Labor Day weekend sales at most major music retailers going on right now. That Bass will always put a smile on your face and let you play it anytime you want, can't say as much for some wife's.

Watcha got coming Bonz? No pic no bass
This order should be four necks (I think, I've got a lot of balls in the air at the moment).
I'll be making more of these bad boys:
The Official Medium Scale Bass Club
I just picked up three sets of absolutely gorgeous flamed/spalted/birdseye maple caps last night locally -- I'm going to make two basses as alder with maple cap bodies, maple/maple necks, and one bass as alder with maple cap, maple/rosewood.
I have a pre-cut, partially finished maple body I picked up recently that I may build into the fourth one with a maple/maple neck.
Pics on delivery, hopefully later this morning.
Ain't that the truth lol. I'm all done bass shopping for now, and maybe for along time. I have my jazz, my stringray and my P bass. What more does a guy need? I did also just score an Eden Ec-10 for $179 that I will use for at home practice and very small gigs.
I fould flip if it was out for delivery, because I always set my packages to Will Call & pick them up the their depot.
I learned this saves me lots of trouble.
1. I can get my packages about 5 hours earlier than waiting for them.
2. no one delivers to the wrong address, w/o a signature, leaving the package in the rain on a doorstep

I always have stuff delivered to my office. My office is pretty close to the front door, and we're up a set of stairs and down a hallway with some other businesses, so stuff doesn't get left outside. There's always someone here to sign if need be.
It works out good for me...
I do this, or deliver to the office at my apartment. Someone there to sign, and it sits in air conditioning until I get it.
Good news, bad news, bad news.
Good news: the package was delivered.
Bad news: the package got randomly chosen to pay duty ($56).
Bad news: I think all 4 necks are twisted. I've got them sitting flat on a desk hoping against hope they might acclimatize.

I find myself reminded of a "funny-ha-ha" delivery story of mine. Specifically, it starts with the phrase, "Speaking of 'landing on my doorstep'…". 
That's a bummer Bonz, about the duty and the necks. Maybe putting them under tension will straighten them out? I am not a builder so just guessing

That's quite the story Malak. Chasing the delivery guy down on your bike.

Whay can I say? I really, REALLY wanted to get my hands on it. 'Tis a shame I had to sell it later that very year.
Yeah, I'm waiting to see what the vendor says. Being it's the long weekend, I'm not really expecting a reply until Tuesday...
