If its a 60th anniversary P bass then why have they used the updated 57 shape??

Fender don't do vintage on the anniversary models, check out the iconically beautiful 25th Anniversary Strats with big 70s headstocks for verification. (Pieces of crap, but very pretty)

I agree. When Fender did the whole 60th anniversary thing a few years ago they stuck little silver discs on the headstock of all guitars in that year and eBay was full of people trying to flog them as anniversary editions. The real anniversary editions were something else.

In the sellers defence, I don't think he's suggesting it's a limited model or anything, he just sort of mentions it in the description. Slightly misleading perhaps at most.

Check the neck plate - all p basses made this year have this neck plate to celebrate 60 yrs.
