Great for playing, beautiful sound, can be used for anything.
Model Year: 1978
Price: $600.00 Euro
Where Obtained: second hand
Features:
Made in USA, replica of 50`s precision basses. One piece maple neck, 20 frets, three piece alder body. It was black, repainted to natural by former owner. One split passive p-bass pickup, volume and tone controls, white pickguard.
Playability:
Really nice for playing, in the start little difficult for fast/speed playing because of fat neck.
Sound Quality:
I play blues/rock/psychadelic and progressive rock with it using it on Laney amp. Beautiful rich sound, it can be used for everything.
Durability:
This bass is indestructible. Nothing happened to him since I`ve got it.

It's a nice bass. It's not my #1 bass but it's a great backup. I probably go with an American P-bass if it were stolen. For the price it's would be a great first pro-quality bass for someone, like it was for me.
Model Year: 1991
Price: $500.00 (new)
Where Obtained: Sam Ash Music
Features:
It has a maple neck, alder body and passive p-style pickups. It has a tone and a volume knobs. It's black with a white pick guard. This is a 50's style bass not the 51 reissue. Made in Japan.
Playability:
It has a wide neck and lots of space between the frets. It can be a little difficult to play at a fast speed. But the maple fret board is real nice.
Sound Quality:
P-style single coil passive pickups. The sound could be a bit more full. But I hve no real problem with the overall sound.
Durability:
This Bass is a rock. I never have to worry about anything happing to this bass its built as tough they come.
