Uh-oh.... now you've gone and done it... :shock: This question is right up there with what came first, the chicken or the egg. A story I remember is from Larry Pollack of Aero Pickups. He thought the same thing, and attached his pickups to a guitar body made of cheap plywood, convinced he could make it sound like any other well-made guitar. Long story short; he learned the meaning of "tone-wood"! 8-)

Density of the wood attributes more to the tone than "quality" being that density is a metric, quality is more of a perception or value.

AAAAAnyays...
I've had a couple of "C" series P-basses, and they're ok, but the bodys do feel a little on the bad thin plywood side of things. The necks are generally pretty nicely made, and the electronics are average for their price.
$350 is way high for this though, I could've sworn I paid that much for a brand new one back in the 90's.
Cool colour, not a $350 cool colour.
