Same experience with the Fullertons.  I tried a 58 P bass, I genuinely thought the more recent Classic MIM 50's were better.  For me, if you want an original but on a budget, you cant beat the 80's MIJ reissues

 

There has never been a Fullerton 58 P reissue.

I remember when the Fullerton Reissues came out in the early 1980's and some reviews slating them as overpriced and underwhelming in terms of quality and playability. They were especially disappointing considering the relatively cheap but very cheerful JV Squires that were abundant  in the shops at exactly the same time .

 

There is nothing 'disappointing' about the Fullerton reissues. Some of their features are not historically accurate when compared to the originals but they're great instruments in their own right.

I'm assuming they mean the 57, which there definitely was a Fullerton reissue of.

My bad, i meant the 50's gold/burst/maple one, one of my favourtite P bass colour combos.  Assume it was called a 57?
