So I showed pics of this Rascal (it's fun saying that) to some friends and immediately it got positive feedback in the looks department by nearly everyone.
I would pay $799 for it even if it's made in Mexico, but I wouldn't pay that for a MIM P-bass. Those are just too common, it's too easy to find a nice used one for a lot less than that, and if you are quick enough you can get used American made ones for that.
I think and hope this bass does well in the market.
