New P bass day

[jezzaboy]

So I spotted this on Guitar Guitar second hand page. Looked nice and I have always missed a black and maple one I bought in new 2009 and foolishly sold. It arrived today and it`s a Z8 serial so 2008 - 2012. The thing is it`s like a brand new bass, not a mark on it anywhere, it still has the original film on the pickguard that looks kinda yucky to be honest, the case is mint and it has all the goodies inside which is very unusual.

 

There is a tag in there from a different UK instrument shop price marked down from £1343 to £1103. I paid £1099 which is around the going rate but like I say it`s mint. I wonder what happened with it? Did it sit in the back of some store forgotten or did someone buy it and stick it under the bed? At the end of the day it`s just another P bass but I`m well happy with it. Anyway pics or it doesn`t exist!

Nice, the best recorded tone I’ve ever had - imo of course - was one of this range. That looks a cracking bass, I’m sure you’re gonna enjoy it.

Nice example you have there and rare to have all the case candy intact after around 15 years. The price of £1343 would have been the official retail price at the time. Maybe it was discounted by around £250 originally? Hard to imagine now that the equivalent current day American Professional II basses now have an RRP of around £1919!
