My only white bass (not to confuse the Gundam fans with White Base) and also my first fiver, a Squier Deluxe Jazz Bass Active V. I was lucky to get it used, not to mention in fantastic condition, since Squier no longer makes either the IV or the V in Olympic White anymore.

I hope this qualifies. It's basically a no-name fretless P-bass. I've owned this for a very long time. I originally bought from a guy for $100, who told me it was a Fender but he put a replacement fretless neck on it. I know, I was naïve and believed him at the time. I'm pretty sure it was actually a Series A or Profile, one of the lower end instruments in my neighborhood when I was young. The body was in very bad shape, so it was sanded down & this paint job applied. The paint held up pretty well over the years.

My Spectors and my VM Olympic white P bass - had to have it being a huge Sex Pistols fan way back in the day :) - it's actually a great bass, rivals most if not all of the MIM Precisions I have owned/played.
