I was wondering because I think I'd want a bit more aggressive tone than the LaBella's would offer. I've got most of my basses strung with EB Cobalt Flats. Nice, smooth feel and a good growl/clarity.
This is a big red flag! Don't become a member of the "I should have never sold that one" club!I might just end up keeping it. Going to be hard to let this one go. Too hard to replace . We will see.
I've used cobalt flats on every bass for years on all my basses but I wanted to have a p w classic flats on it in the arsenal
Makes sense. For the "classic" tone, I love GHS Precision Flats... awesome strings for that classic tone.
This is for sale locally by a guy that sells a lot of guitars and basses. I don't think he's a proper "store" per-say but he does a lot on FB Marketplace. This to me looks like a CIC 60's CV P bass neck that has been put on to a Vintage Modified P bass body, am I correct? Or were there early CV P basses that has a this color/pickguard combo? The listing does state that the Seymour Duncan QP pickups and the thumbrest were added.
I currently have a CIC CV 70's P. Should I consider selling that one to try and pick this up?

looks to me like it’s a parts Squier Bass. Matt freeman body, random squier CV neck added to it.
Correct! If it’s below $300 I’d snatch that bass up
Yes 2010 CIC p neck 100%
My guesses:
Matt Freeman body OR
FSR CIC 50's P bass OR recent CV body with an added bridge/brass
with the 2010 CIC neck/tugbar...

The pickup is a Seymour Duncan .
The neck and bridge is Classic Vibe 60’s P .
The body isn’t a Matt Freeman. It is too white. Those basses had a slight yell of wish tint like aged white.
I would not buy it.
There is a blue CV60s P ( original ) for sale on Talk Bass for a great price.
If you want one in fiesta red , pm me. I might have one available.
I think your right, I looked around a bit last night, the MF definitely is more of an aged white. I don't remember the VM's having the high-mass bridge with brass saddles anyone else know?
Also can't remember seeing a white CIC P bass, I remember the white J basses it's the bass that first got me looking at this line...
looks like an affinity body, CIC neck, CIC bridge, and upgraded pickup
Update.... my new bass arrived. I have played it and changed strings to my favorite TiI flats because like flats on a Pbass. but I know it is too big for my small female hands. So I'm saying myself over $2k and returning it. Keeping my beloved CV60's P. This officially ends my quest for a P5. Too bad. The bass is beautiful but just too big of a neck. My hands cramp and get numb after 15 minutes.
what bass was it? I had a custom p 5 made bc I couldn't find one to my specs, and even with repairs it needed (long story) it was still way under 2k
The earlier CV60P only has solid blue/white guard before 2011 or 12. Once the fiesta red 60P appear, there are also brown and black version in some country.
Maybe you are right, but, from the picture , the MF body should more yellowish rather than this Olympics white. Could be white balance thing or cause by environment lighting.
Yes and most important...SPARKLE!!!
I really wanted this bass to work for me. It has an awesome slap tone. I just can't do the neck.
For $2k+ it has to really work for me.
But thank goodness I still have my trusty CV60's P.
I can slap on my StingRays and Sandberg.
