I will probably get an AM PRO II someday but just have a laugh at some of the CS fender prices. Maybe if you own a small company.....
Saw a Phil Lynott Fender bass for 10k on ebay recently, Philo would be rolling in his grave.

Maybe the aviator sunglasses are really nice....
No the MIJs look great too.
I think the sire wins to be honest if I can get one sub £500.
Active preamp, cool finish, rolled fretboard edges. Only downside is resalwe is poor but hopefully won't need to worry about that!!
@uk_lefty thanks for the input man. Thats a lovely bass, love the grain.
Yeah it's looking more and more expensive, USA body plus postage plus tax is around 600 alone. Then neck and tuners £300 and a luthier to put it all together, £100ish.
Saving 500 quid and having mex neck (not that theres anything wrong with that!)
Itll be a Sire V7 burgundy mist or fender player series me thinks....
Thread resurrection guys.
I've spotted a lovely Fender Am Pro II body on the stratosphere website. Thinking about getting this and sticking a mex neck on it. That plus tuners and luthier costs would be around 800 quid. Anyone ever done this? Only issue is American pro has 5 bolt neck with fancy cutaway and mex is standard 4 bolt.....
Hes just withdrawn it, had this and an Adam Clayton Warwick up and said he was only selling one. Yeah though €600 would be more like it alright.

@TheGreek an NS2000 has come up locally.
€700, deal or no deal? It looks nice and better than a legend.
Black, neck thru, gold hardware, emg hz and tonepump Jr, looks decent. This would be my first spector so treading lightly
Guys, seems to be made in Japan tribute model. Neck looks thinner than the Indonesia tributes? Confusing as there's also "premium" Japanese line 🤔
