Pino Pallidino Fender Precision
Honestly, this is not a troll post before anybody suggests it is, but can anyone explain to me why it costs nearly 4 grand for a PP Fender Precision:

The "Unique Features" they state come with it are: Vintage Styling, Shows natural wear and tear of years of heavy use, nicks, scratches, worn fini
It baffles me that this bass is modelled on a vintage Precision that Pino owned and sells for more than a vintage Precision sells for. Even if you took a Fender Custom shop bass and stuck decent replacement pickups in, you'd have a lot of change out of 4 grand. I'm not too keen on the artificial relic'ing that they've done on this and especially if it bumps the price up to 4 grand either. I think Fender's logic must be that SOMEONE will buy it so we'll charge that much.
