Wow, looks like "Hot deal of the day" for sure.What do those run new, $120.00 delivered to Your doorstep?
Just great. You can access SX haters and relic haters all with just one bass. That ought to be worth a few extra bucks!

Yes, just about. The guy has upgraded it a bit, but he also put some nice scrapes on it and altered the headstock. (So much for the collectors' value!)
How "roadworn" can that bass be? Kurt didn't switch to those headstocks for righties until 2010. lol
But let me get this straight -
The guy puts a rattlecan finish on the bass, (Not a bad one either.) lowers the strings, scratches the crap out of it and keeps everything stock and he wants $250?
In that case my SPB must be worth $400 with its real vintage 1957 Fender P-Bass pickups and pots lol.
God I could get a nice Squier for that money.

Headstock looks entirely stock to me... I don't see any change from the repulsive current shape.
You're right, I just did.
Maybe the seller is a marketing major and he's trying his Madison Avenue style out here. How "road worn" can a one or to year old bass be? LOL It's not exactly vintage gear.
This is just further proof that people are dumb.
Also, Road Worn is a Fender registered trademark. Listing it as a Road Worn Precision Bass is misleading. And dumb.

dumb? not to me..... I'd sell a beat up old SX for 500.00 bucks if I could. not my fault if the "buyer" is dumb and does not do HIS/HER research first.
I tell ya, if SX made an actual "road worn" p bass, I'd be all over it.
This eBay auction is just silly.

Actually, I was referring to the seller, not any potential buyer. Although anyone who purchased that bass could also fall into the same category.
your right ghostdog 
all in all the seller is trying to get what he wants regardless of what anyone else thinks. It is ultimately up to the buyer to buy it ( or not )
