Just saw that one too! I'm sooo tempted at this moment.

Anyone experience with the '57 RI's from 2008?

I'd only replace the pickguard with s full black one and I'd be set for a while...

I had a maple P neck like this from around that time. Felt nice, but definitely had that fat ass profile like a late 50s Precision. If you are into bigger neck profiles, you’d probably like it.

I had one from around this time too in tobacco burst with maple neck.
I put on a gold anodised guard. Neck was very wide but fast to play.
Only moved it on to fund a medium scale version. Great bass.

I actually prefer a fatter neck on a P bass. Do any of the MIJ Ps come with a fat rosewood neck?

I don't know about new ones produced now, but I've owned a couple of MIJ P basses with rosewood necks.

I am currently selling a MIJ 57 reissue (White with Gold Pickguard) and sold a board member a MIJ from 98. They are great basses, they comments on the neck from board members are spot on. They do play really fast and really have a nice shine to them.
