Thanks Texican I appreciate that! Let us know how that beautiful fiesta red CIC works out for ya.
If I could find a CIC in Olympic White in that price range I'd be all over it. If anyone knows of one...
I had one. It was made only of the Japan market I believe. There is a aztec bronze that limited edition mad only for a short while for GC and Long McQuades. Other than that, only sonic blue and fiesta red.
The Matt Freeman is a Classic Vibe Signature model based on a 70's Pbass. It came in an aged Olympic White but has different pickup and neck shape.
After watch carefully, the fretboard are dark wood, I believe seller miss list the name, she look more a like Indo CV60P.
Very cool! Hope it is delivered without issue. I did a parts bass with an Olympic White CV Body, cts pots, cloth wiring, orange drop cap, Fender 60's pick ups and Fender mim replacement neck. It sounds incredible and is one of my best players without a doubt!

If you have either one sonic blue or fiesta red CIC CV60P, how about give it a new paint?
I don't really want to get in to the middle of everything that's been going on here the past few days but...
I just got an Indo CV 50's Precision and I am very pleased. I put GHS Pressurewounds on it and it sounds great. Sure, the bridge isn't the greatest and the tuners might end up getting replaced sometime way down the road, but the things that matter to me are there.
I had realized for the hundreth time that I am just not really a Jazz guy and I traded a Fender Players Jazz for the CV plus cash on his end. The cash helped make some much needed upgrades to my pedalboard and I am beyond thrilled with how the whole deal/situation has worked out.
I've had 2 early CIC Jazz basses (one being the James Johnston sig model) and recently had an early CIC 70's precision. I'm not going to say that this bass is "equal" or "better" than any of those, but I absolutely will say that I love it.
Pictures will come tomorrow when there is some decent lighting.

As an old CIC CV bass owner since 2012 , i always using the CIC CV quality standard/ price tag / value of money to judge on indo CV bass.
Here always welcome share the Pro and Con on CV bass. All share are valuable information. But if die hard fans appear , there is the problem. But those guys could stop me to keep sharing.
I think i have try my best and luck to find a nice condition used CIC CV60P or MF sig P bass and get qualified continue post here again.

As promised, here is an initial pic, fresh out the shipping box. The lighting was bad, so better pics to come, I promise! 2009 MIC Fiesta Red 60's P bass:
I actually do have a Matt Freeman (2013 issue date) BUT it's the black one. Which I'm perfectly fine with, it's a great bass, wouldn't sell it, trade it, or repaint it and I really don't need another P bass (have 3 now as is). But I'm in a Beach Boys tribute band and in all of their early videos they're playing an Olympic White P with gold anodized pickguard so to be "period correct" I keep thinking I need one in Olympic White with a gold anodized pickguard to go with the blue/white striped shirts and chinos.
Not that anyone would likely know the difference, my tri color burst P and the black MF do the job just fine. But still... 
There is a white Matt Freeman on my local Facebook Marketplace, but the seller wants $700! Am I wrong in thinking that's a bit much? I know it's a desirable model but dayuuummm. I messaged him about a potential trade but I was left on read. Oh well.
As of late the Matt Freemans I have seen are in the $900-1200 range, some higher, $700 seems (in todays market) very good, they don't come up very often...
What makes the Matt Freeman so much more special than any other CIC CV P bass?

Here's the black one for $500 on the verb right now.
