Nice. Out of my price range though. Not to crazy about the radius on the board @ 7.25". I like at least 9.5" - 12".

TOTALLY liking this one; especially the Arctic White finish.
I've owned Gretsch Spectrasonic & Thunderjet basses w/ TV Jones pups; they sound excellent.

..and as a PROUD owner of a 2013 Precision Pro Model, I can tell you that these are fine instruments, about as good as a P-Bass gets.

I think the thing that depressed me most was the frets. To have a killer vintage radius SCPB neck and put medium jumbos on it? Who's been huffing pain in the custom shop? ;) Personally, that TV Jones made me think that they didn't go far enough with this bass. I would have loved to have seen them do one of the semi-hollow body basses like those old MIJ Tele models they had for a bit.

It looks like the pick guard does not fit on the body like all other pickguards in the Universe do. What's up with that?- Looks like a cool bass but 4300 scimolians is a lot for a bad fit (if not on perpose) pick guard and 1 pickup. But how would I know it could sound killareous. Those vids don't work on my comp junk. Nice bass.

edit- I'm thinking maybe the pickguard thing is an optical dilusionment. bioptical profusion. myopic protrusion. ... whatever.... :lol:

I would order one without the pickguard. I absolutely hate that '51 style, and I'd ditch that totally worthless 'tug bar' too.

I love that superb bridge, and that TV Jones Thunderblade pickup rocks to high heaven!
