Good information but the real issue in this discussion is that, after extensive research, @Rocker has settled on getting a P style bass guitar but not settled on a budget.

I'm also on a look out for a P-Bass, and many bass players have nothing but good things to say about the Fender Roadworn series.

The classic 50s mim is awesome. It's my go-to gigging bass. Solid, reliable, good punchy Precision tone and good build quality.

As a workhorse they are unbeatable

Both made in Mexico.

Yep - pretty much the same, but the roadworn is nitro and relic'd - the classic is poly. I've got the rarer classic non relic with nitro finish (only available in black)

I've said it a few times on here, but for all practical purposes when gigging it does 95% of what my pre-CBS '64 Precision does - yes there are differences, and in a recording scenario I'd pick the 64 every day. But...

@Freebird - there's one exactly like mine on the Facebook bass sales groups at the moment for £450 in Medway - but it looks like he will deliver. It's a good price for a bass that is over £1k new

I have a "rodent worn" Squier Silver Series Precision. Wide/thin neck profile. Currently sporting a Fender AVRI pickup and a 4-ply torty pickguard. Farty flatwounds. Instant Jameson, Dunn, early McVie.

Now, for real instant Jameson...

@rocker I wouldn't overthink it too much. There are almost literally an infinite number of P-basses out there and even the worst shops will have a dozen in stock. Go and play loads, all different prices, all different colours, one will speak to you. Job done.

Howdy, Stranger!
