I'd still say $250 is a steal for this bass, it punches way above it's weight class at that price point still. I probably could have gotten mine for $20 but I offered $40. It was originally posted for $100 and when I arrived to pick it up the guy told me he was going to just throw it away but...

Thanks man! Yeah I got it for a steal for sure due to that pink paint job.

Recently picked up my first Peavey bass, a 1986 Peavey Patriot. Snagged it for $40 off of marketplace. Looked like it was used as a child's art project at some point. I was able to clean it up pretty well and was going to keep it as is but I ran into some discounted cans of Duplicolor perfect...

Sorry forgot to mention! It's a 2001 MIA Precision Bass

Hello again everyone! Back again with my P Bass I picked up for a great deal the other day. I was able to get some better photos of the finish on the back of the neck and was hoping to get your take on it. The only real flaws on the bass are some finish checking on the back of the neck. Was...

Very interesting! Well I may just leave it alone then, I actually don't mind the white pickguard

No Luck but thanks for the heads up!

Here's some updated photos, pardon their quality.

Right again, I see on the fender serial search website that it did indeed come with a parchment white pg. The only mystery I have left is why there are holes for the chrome pickup cover and thumbrest on the pickguard but nothing drilled into the body. Maybe the original owner drilled holes in...

I knew the truss rod adjustment would be at the heel but the pickguard just didn't look quite right to me in the photos. So you're saying the pickguards for this model didn't have as big of a rounded cutaway to access the allen key? You are absolutely right though it does have an allen key...

It was just an old timer just clearing out stuff he doesn't use. I had no red flags on the seller or the existence of the bass, just was posting here to get extra eyes on it in case anything jumped out at ya'll as far as the possibility of a counterfeit or a partscaster situation. I was lucky...

First Fender P Bass, I've had a couple clones but never the real thing. Got a MIM Jazz bass and a couple MIA/MIJ guitars.

This was the only red flag that was jumping out at me as well, I assumed correctly that the pickguard has been replaced. Gonna get a closer to factory one back on there asap

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Took the trip to pick it up this morning, just taking a break from playing it. I can happily say it's a legitimate MIA Fender P Bass! Came with a G&G Fender case as well. You were close with the year it's a 2001. Aside from a couple of minor dings to the finish...

Hello everyone! My apologies if this isn't allowed or this is the wrong place to post this. I have the opportunity to pick up a MIA Precision bass for a steal and am hoping the experts can identify anything concerning from these photos. There wasn't a ton of info on the listing and I didn't...
