Picked up a NOS 2004 MIA P bass (black body w black pickguard & rosewood board). This is the newer one with the S-1 (series parallel) switch and the Hipshot tuners. I've been playing narrower necked basses lately (have a Jazz, a Cirrus, etc) and the wider spacing on the P ain't working for me. Still has the protective film & S-1 sticker on the pickguard. Has a couple of extremely minor scratches on the back of the bass from being on display at store. Comes with a Fender hardshell case. $775!! (these sell for hundreds more new anywhere else and this one is new old stock that I just bought).
I should add that she plays great, sounds great and that the S-1 gives another tonal option to the P. It tends to make it sound a bit like a J bass when the switch is engaged. I'll post pics these evening (running late for work now and have to leave).
Update: I'm going to include a brand new custom 5 ply Black Pearloid pickguard (It's beeing shipped to me now). Fender guards are 3 ply and a lot of aftermarket ones are only 1 or 3 ply. This is the real deal! I also just put on some new Ernie Ball Nickel Rounds. These are included also!
