Musicman20 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 £900 is a bit steep! Is that rrp? Gone are the days when I bought my MIJ P for £440 new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I don't like it, sunburst rosewood/blocks and tort would have been more appealing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Not with the burst, no, but the white is right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The Japanese Fenders are good, but as I always say, their current pricing is crazy (unless its the USA pickup versions). I had a very nice MIJ P for years, but it wasnt up there with a USA P bass. Mainly, it was the pickup/tuners/guard/lack of hardcase that didnt stand up to the USA, so £900 now is mental. I think its too early to tell on quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yeah i agree 900 is steep for the non USA version.. is that what they are? or is that the USA pickup version MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 If this new Classic is MIJ Im guessing its MIJ for the whole lot. I wonder why they chose MIJ instead of MIM like the rest of the Classic series?! Im guessing street price of £700 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubinga5 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) sorry to go off topic somewhat, but i guess im comparing the CIJ RI which is really the same bass as the AV 62 RI.. with a few differences if you really want stack knobs..... AV comes out at 1700 ish.. the CIJ comes out at 700 ish.. no brainner unless you really want the USA letters on your bass.. seems like they only seem crazy because there going up in price... in context there still a bargain compared to USA Fenders.. wether you think USA Fenders are too expensive is a different matter..

Musicman20 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The current USA prices are crazy, but shop around and you can still get a sunburst MIA P or J (2011) for under a grand. Expensive? Yes, but the case itself warrants £150 of that, and it is an exceptional case. (Im a bit mad on proper hardcases). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
