I'm not sure, but it sure looks like a good bass. The PJ config and maple board will probably pull out some interesting sounds, and the black block inlays work suprisingly well aesthetically with the black finish + tort pickguard.

[Vince Klortho]

WOW ! Nice-looking bass ! If I had 900 to spend I would jump on that.

This was a limited run P-Bass Mexican Deluxe, made especially for GC. The biggest differences were, IIRC, the frosted surf green finish and the black blocks on the neck. There's a long thread on it here on TB. I played one in my local GC and wasn't all that impressed, though that might have been due to the horrible setup.

[Duckwater]

My local GC has one of these in Seafoam, it's an incredible instrument in every way and worth more than the price. YMMV

[Pet Sounds]

You're right, Duck, it's seafoam, not surf green. The one I played had an outrageously awful setup, almost unplayable, so I'm sure that colored my opinion.

I've seen it at my GC, the one I tried played pretty well, not on the level of my MIJ Aerodyne, but I really like the look

[jcphockey16]

I'll have to look for one. last time I was there they had this satin finish honey brown precision with maple neck and it was amazing. $700 I was ready to buy after playing it but after 30 min of watching GC employees hound parents as soon as they walked in and ignore me cuz I'm 22 I decided not to give them any business

[WyrdoBass]

I really, really wish this didn't exist. More accurately, my bank account wishes.

It looks like it's a Deluxe P Bass Special, in fact the headstock says "Precision Bass Special", but it appears to be passive, with a blocked and bound neck and a Badass II, and it costs $200 more. I'm not sure that's $200 worth of improvements...
