There's a Rock Bass version on it's way in Feb too...much more reasonable for €1,058.71. Second hand it would be a good buy I think.

That looks a little more reasonable. I could never bring myself to buy a signature bass but I still think it looks the business :)

Also on the 'quite expensive P bass' list must also be this from Warwick, retailing at a mere €5,697.45. Does look pretty cool though to be fair although YMMV of course.

$5,697.45 for a passive P?! I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

I think the Fodera looks nice though, I like the plain look about it - not too overstated but still very Fodera-y.
At least you're paying for a truly handcrafted instrument, which makes the cost justifiable imo.

For hand crafted loveliness at a more reasonable price (I'd guess at c. £1,100) how about a nice ACG P bass?

It's interesting because I really can't stand that ACG. I don't like the knob positioning, I don't like the body shape, I don't like the headstock, I don't like the massive pickup and I don't like the black hardware. And the Finn is my least favourite ACG shape too!

I suppose I should like it, but really don't. I'm sure it's very well made and sounds great. But the looks are very marmite to me and I don't like marmite.

A Salace on the other hand... Hubba hubba!

I've yet to see an ACG bass that I didn't think was horrendous.

I think we've quickly arrived at the 'I like something you don't' part of the evening lol.

It rather looks that way doesn't it :)

Horses for courses - both nice basses. I don't see them competing in terms of styling or price, both very different markets so not sure how relevant mentioning ACGs is in this thread other than the chunks of wood with 4 strings strapped on to them aspect but no problem; I wouldn't say no to either if someone offered me one!

Yeah, clearly a massive error of judgement on my part; I was thinking this thread was to do with the potentially high cost of a custom made P bass. ACGs are clearly too cheap and nasty to merit consideration.

Humble apologies to all concerned.
