    Is it not the glory of the people of America that, whilst they have paid a decent regard to the opinions of former times and other nations, they have not suffered a blind veneration for antiquity, for custom, or for names, to overrule the suggestions of their own good sense, the knowledge of their own situation, and the lessons of their own experience?" - James Madison - Federalist #14

      Truth be known, with the nice padded strap i've got, i can play it standing for around 2 hours... after that i'll need to sit down or lean against somthing. It's a beast, but no worse than some of the heavy LP Customs i've played. However, if i was feeling particularly ambitious, i'd get myself a surplus load bearing vest, and hook it up to that. Personally, for P-basses, hard ash is the way to go, at least in my opinion. It weighs a ton, but it doesn't get all spongy the way that swamp ash does. Swamp ash IMO, is more of a Jazz Bass thing
