Pros

Authentic 1960s P-Bass tone and feel
Vintage 7.25-inch fretboard radius for classic playability
Period-correct hardware and appointments

Cons

Vintage radius limits aggressive string bending
Heavier than modern Fender basses

Don't buy this if…

The vintage 7.25-inch fretboard radius causes notes to choke during extreme bends above the 12th fret, which is historically accurate but limiting for modern techniques.
