I don't own one but as I understand it, they were recently re-issued and the newer models are supposed to be better than the older ones.

Harmony-Central may have some reviews. Good luck and stay well.

I own one and it is fantastic!! It sounds GREAT and looks better than any picture or video of it that I've seen. It's a little heavier than most P-Basses I've owned, but in a good way. My favorite part of the bass is the neck. It's chunky and it has a nicely vintaged look to it.

Yeah I got one too, Its really good, a similar feel to my 78. Nice chunky neck, great finish. The flatwounds on it didn't really work for me soundwise, plus they are a HUGE gauge (50-70-95-110). So I had to alter the truss a little to put 105's on.

So in short it definitely looks the part, but it's also very definitely setup at manufacture to play and feel like Steve's would, so may not be to everyone's personal taste.

Hope this helps!
