Just Wow! If I ever got a Custom Shop this would be the model I would get.

That’s about the going rate for a brand new NOS Custom Shop Bass.

This auction is from a store for a new bass, and they have two. So not the one from CL.

I wonder why these are all popping up now? This is a model from a couple years ago, isn't it?

Correct these were made 2015
A bit strange

Also, most if not all of the listings seem to be using the same stock photos.

They are all subsidiaries/sister companies of Musician's friend, so it's the same listing for the same bass.

There's at least two in the original ebay listing, the pics show the basses in two slightly different cases.

As do the same photos on the MF website. Def worth giving them a call before buying one!

And that's the scanty-est relic finish I've ever seen on a P body.

I got one of these used from a listing by a member of the forum here who had bought it something like a year or two before from a UK store I believe.

It’s simply the absolute best p-bass I’ve played.

So if all these models are of the same quality, I wouldn’t hesitate a second about buying one.

The only little annoyance for me is the « V » shaped neck. I would prefer a vintage C but that’s a minor thing.

In this vid of a few CS '57s, they all sound a little different:
