Who can tell? I recall that mine had a wider bevel and a slight notch (with relicing) at the truss rod adjuster.

Congrats on the Pino!! I can definitely say that as the owner of several Custom Shop P's, an AVRI P, an all original '59 P and all original '66 P,.....my Pino is my favorite. I don't know what the Fender Custom Shop did when they made it, but it just has that "something" that none of the others have.
Thanks a lot for all compliments. As a thank to all of you who like pics, I made these. As you can see I made a deep fretboard restoration, and it looks so tasteful and dark (howard feedNwax treatment). Did I mention bass plays absolutely perfect?
Beautiful but what does it have so more than a more standard P bass to cost 4K€? No seriously I’d gladly listen to your opinion
You have to keep in mind that the rise in quality as a function of cost is more of a logarithmic one. You pay a lot more for labor - Fender CS is not a standard production line.
In my opinion, the CS stuff is a notch above regular Fenders, and if you have the cash and want the very best Fender offers you should give it a go.

I know it's not custom shop or relic'ed but what do you guys think of the standard Jaco tribute bass?
The standard Jaco sig is a very nice bass. I had one before I got the cs relic. I had to make a decision to keep only one, but if I could have kept both I would have. Here is the one I owned, next to my Squier fretless.
What does it have more? For someone nothing.. for some of us everything. General audience will hardly notice difference between double bass and Fodera - so it is all about feeling of a bass player. And I feel great when playing this bass - lightweight resonant body, beautiful color combo, great relic (not in eshetic sense for me - it is all about playability - smooth neck, rounded fretboard edges and comfy feeling it cant “get hurt” like pristine basses) and top notch materials - I like reverse tuners, quartersawn necks and nitro. And Pino has it all in one (expensive) package. Yes you must spend a lot, but you also get a lot when selling. I always consider resale factor, it saves a lot of GASer’s money
That being said, if I would be in a budget mode, I would buy roadworn pbass instead of pino, not US Standard or Deluxe. My opinion

+1
I can truly say that out of all of the basses I've owned and currently own, there is something about the Pino that makes me not want to put it down after picking it up. All of the things mentioned above....plus I can't put my finger on it but it's got some sort of mojo, feel, and tone to it that no other bass has that I've ever played. I can confidently say that it's my #1 out of all of my basses. Here's a video of me gettin' down with it!
Mh ... as I thought it’s more relevant to personal taste then ... I agree on nitro which sets s huge difference but you can find a decent nitro finish on thd now new American Orginal series ... thanks for the honest replyWhat does it have more?

Thanks. Just the Pino through my REDDI and straight to the desk. That's it.

Normally I would go tort, but I think in this case I would go mint green...
Honestly if you could get a tort one with more of the brown in it I think that would be the ticket. The one you have on there seems really read to me. Just my opinion.
like so maybe?>
