Fender Deluxe P/J Bass

Fender Deluxe P/J Bass
Anyone actually own or try this puppy here?

“A deluxe version of Fender's best-of-both-worlds bass.” ???
[So they say]

Just one retailer of many that have it, all about the same price too btw:
Fender Deluxe P Bass Special 4-String Bass: Shop Bass & Other Musical Instruments | Musician's Friend

I think this bass has a lot going on for it at first glance and it is affordable [$699.00 +GB]
I’m looking at it for a work horse. I think from what I see it should be equally suited for studio or gigs.
Plan on trying it out in Harrisburg but it is a bit of a hike [G.C.]

they have it in stock.

Comments welcome

ALSO:
Does anyone know where they are made? my guess MIM
 
This is not the right forum. This is a forum for the retailer Bass Central. If you go to the basses forum and do a search you will find lots of info on the bass you seek. FYI, they are MIM and active (basses with a battery) which are two big negatives in my book. The ones I have played felt cheap and sounded worse but Im sure as with anything here, you will find folks that swear by them. With the $700 plus tax and shipping, you could easily buy a used MIA Fender and have the J pup routed. Just my .02 and welcome to the board.
