Seems slightly expensive - you can get a nice 70's P for that.. or is there something I'm missing??

It comes with a nice relic chair.

we've had this thread before for the same bass.
Given the choice between this and a nice 70's P, as a collector this wins hands down.
As a player... if it's anything like mine, it would also win

Scarcity. If you're looking at this and thinking "Squier" you're thinking the wrong thing. As future collectibles go - if all the production stamps and codes check out - this would be a good investment piece. Yes, it has been priced for eBay - meaning the vendor has factored in a percentage to recoup listing, final valuation and payment fees - but that's the way people are approaching sales these days.

Agree with comments above. nearly £1500 is top money i think, but it's certainly an £1100++ guitar. Certainly worth punting it at this price though, as they so rarely show up.
Regards quality of build, components, playability, and sound, as Luke above hints at, there isn't much around thats better than these early ones. My two are fabulous, and I'd be very sorry to part with them, although i would at that price!!

wow, thats beautiful, i wish mine hadnt been modded for a j pup, lost half its value i guess (although i think it sounds better!)

Yep, although I'd like to keep the pair together if possible, would be a shame to split them up!!
