I'm in the "buy the amp first then the bass" camp. It will be hard to gig with that amp.

Strangerdanger i agree 100 percent,im not a major fan of that amp at all,but i only use it to practise,but your right,i dont reraly know why im after another bass,the overwater bass is not bad...you have me thinking....

Yes, it's made in Mexico. There are additional close up photos, and its on the back of the headstock.

I agree with the recommendation to upgrade your amp before your bass. 150 watts doesn't cut it in practice with my band. However, maybe you guys don't crank it up.

I don't own a MIM classic 50's, but I do have a 57 AVRI. From what I've read on TB, the 50's are just as good as the 57's. You're getting a very good bass.

I have both, and use them interchangeably. The Classic '50s P is THE bang-for-the-buck Precision.
