Is this new block marker P Bass MIJ? Are the blocks painted or actual inlays? Can't get over that string spacing on the P neck...Will have to get around trying one of those out.
I'm actually glad you asked this - it looks like the white one is now MIM. I noticed on the Sweetwater website that the white ones were no longer available - I have to admit I was a little bit psyched since it shows the end of a run. But now they are available again at Sweetwater. I like looking at the pictures they have of the actual instruments in stock - so imagine my surprise when I noticed that the serial number looked strange - I compared it to my "T" and this was an "MX" - I didn't even make the MIM connection until I looked at the pictures and saw there was no longer anything at the base of the neck like on MIJs - instead it's on the back of the headstock now. Same price though! I haven't seen any sunbursts like this yet - the one still available at Sweetwater as of this post is still MIJ.
Still have to check out how that Jazz string spacing works out on a P neck.
I asked over at TB and no one else responded with anything like mine, so it could be a fluke! We took a couple of measurements at the Alembic Gathering:
neck width @ nut: 1.678
width from outside of E & G strings: 1.219
Not sure if these measurements help - let me know if you need any others!
