i tried out the new fender USA P bass 2008 today and its absolutely great, lovley tone, feel etc. feels really solid as well.
im thinking of going the cheaper route and building my own P bass from Fender USA parts sold on ebay, has anyone else had a go at this?
 
Anyone know if the P bass deluxe can be played passive?

yes...I pulled the pre out of mine and it works fine,

replaced the P p/u with a SD vintage, the bridge p/u is stock until i find
a good replacement...

I've rewired it to V/V/T and i'm using the forth hole for the output jack...
which leaves me with a hole where the old jack was, no big deal...

sounds great,
ps: I put a .1 cap in it, for me it helps get an old school P
and tames down the bridge p/u

cheers
