I got a new player series p bass two weeks ago and can't stop playing it. It's tidepool blue with maple fretboard. The neck is really good satin on the back gloss on the front. Fit and finish is very good regardless of the price. The bridge is pretty standard fender but looks good and works well. The tuners and solid and I've only had to tune it twice. Once when I got it and again after I put some flats on it. Now the pickups and pots are very good too. The pickups are very clear and defined. The pots are smooth with just the right amount of resistance to let you know that you're turning them. I also notice a lot of difference to the sound with the tone when changing it little bits at a time. I've already played two gigs and a couple rehearsals with it. Really the only thing that could be a problem with some, is the finish seems pretty thin. It's got some dings that are hard to see and small but are there, after only 2 weeks. I couldn't get them to show up on camera though. I personally don't care because I got it as workhorse that I expected to get beat up. Overall I feel it's a real improvement over the old Mexican standard.
