Should I?

Awesome. I have the matching strat with maple neck...2003. What a great year for colors...the alternate was Agave Blue.

I remember the Agave Blue too. I had used Sages and Agaves in my sights for a couple years, never came across a nice one for < $500...finally gave up the quest. That was ~ eight years ago!

El gato negro gives it some class. Buy it.

So now we’re wondering about the authenticity of a MiM P Bass.

When I bought my Am Standard P back in ‘96 it was $600, and the MIM Standards hanging next to it were $150. I wanted to see USA on the headstock, but now I know that a P Bass is a P Bass.

I love that color! I didn't remember MIM Standards coming in that color. I thought only American Standards were available in Sage Green. Rosewood looks so much better than the pao ferro Fender use these days (and I generally like pao ferro, just not Fender's pao ferro, they must have gotten a boatload of ugly pao ferro for cheap!). It's probably a ceramic pickup though. I know some people love the ceramic pickups in MIM Standards but I'm definitely not one of them. It's an easy and reasonably cheap upgrade if you don't like it so I say GET IT!!!!
 
Looks like we came to an agreement so so as soon as she gets back to me and let me know when we can hook up I'm going to go check it out Can some of you more experienced guys let me know if there's anything in particular I should look out for
