They have not mentioned weight so it may well be a boat anchor, but look at that flame maple! mmmmm

Yes that's an odd looking one to me, the headstock and decal don't look quite right as well as the other things people have mentioned. The '78 seems looks OK though....but heavy.

If there are no mods from new as the seller says, Fender really should be ashamed of those solder joints :)

That all makes sense - late 70's p basses with these type of serial numbers could have been made between late 70's and early 80's

Like you say the pots indicate the bass was assembled in 1980
