Thanks man, Its a beauty and the grain is lush. 

[Jus Lukin]

Oh wow! Ain't that somthin'?!

I guess I'm a fan of walnut, either the wood itself or a stain, and Fenders look great to me with (well, without) that 1970's stripped finish. This is like a really classy version of that. Stunning!

[tobiewharton]

An absolute beaut!

Thanks all, please let me know if you think the price is off?! Few nibbles on it atm but nothing solid. It’s a nice bit of kit to have in the arsenal anyway. Will be getting a run out from @cd_david and @wateroftyne in a week or so 🤘

If i was looking for a new bass i'd be having it. Recently bought a Sandberg VM4 but would have seriously considered this.

Price seems ok to me but i'm no expert on P style basses.

Is this not similar to what Limelight do with the Allparts necks etc and they sell for similar on 2nd hand market AFAIK.

The bass body is very nicely finished and good looking indeed as well as the decal on the headstock and the selected tuners (although the tuners are not period-correct and the hootenanny thing behind the headstock is missing) .. however there are true, vintage-reproduction Fender basses that can be purchased for nearly the same price (some of them on this site), which, consequently, can't be considered adequate IMO (I'm providing my reply to the OP's question).
