60th Anniversary Precision bass...


Has anyone played one of these?

Opinions?

The bridge looks much more solid than the original basses, and it has
modern P pickups and headstock, and smoother than original edges, but
control plate and scratch plate evocative of the original instrument.

I suppose it sounds just like a P bass.

Cool or pointless homage?
