Is This Legit?

[glydebass]

So I found this Fender P for sale right down the road from me and was just curious what you guys thought about it being the real deal. It says it's an 80's Japanese for $150. I don't know much about the differences in tone across the different models of P Basses but I've been craving a P for a while now. Plus I need a bass after only having an acoustic for so long now.

Any thoughts please let me know.

that's a killer deal! snatch it up!

(might be gone already )

Go see it and play it. If it sounds good and it feels okay, jump on it! That is a hell of a deal for a MIJ Standard.

You are probably going to have to check first hand to see if it is legit. Maybe you got lucky and found someone who does not know what they have. Those 80's Japanese Fenders can be REALLY nice! On the other hand, it is $150, how far wrong can you go...

If it was down the street from me, I would be down the street buying it.

I saw that one yesterday and called the guy and left a message...never heard back from him...tried again this am and his voicemail box is FULL...I'd almost guarantee that it's already been snatched up....gotta be quick on our cl these days. I've got an 87 japanese pbass and it's my favorite bass out of 12...if they have the jv in the serial number they're really sought after:

Someone got a killer deal!!! The seller should have educated himself before putting it up for sale...Buyer Beware but also Seller Be Aware!!!
