At $692  this is not our lowest price bass, but it's a huge bang for the buck.  Here's what she is:  P style bass (with an option for J style), alder body, thick slab rosewood fingerboard on hard rock maple neck with dot inlays, Phillips truss rod adjustment at the heel just like early 60's Fenders.  Includes my hand-cut bone nut, the crown jewel of any CertainBass.  You have your choice of Jazz or Precision neck dimensions (Jazz necks on P basses are very popular).  Both 20 and 21 fret necks are available.  Maple fingerboard adds $35.  Keeping the price down by using my standard Fender bridge, my standard secret pickups and tuners.  My standard parts are high quality, and they're what I use for the basses I make for myself.  Sunburst and black are standard with some other colors available from time to time, just ask.   You can also opt for one of the dot inlay necks on a Jazz bass by adding $38.  Add $240 for our custom finish in any color you want plus $65 for a matching headstock.  Standard on all CertainBasses are CTS pots, Switchcraft jack, vintage style cloth wiring and full copper shielding.  100% never fail, dependable.   Also standard on all CertainBasses is my proprietary build techniques and great set-up for unbelievable playability few can rival. 

Gee, I'm making a bass that plays like butter, sounds like the gods and looks like you walked into a music store in 1963 for less than a used Sadowsky or Lakland, less than American Fender?  Less than Mexican Fender in some cases?  Size does matter, and my smaller business is better for you.  My prices are based on my cost.  They're NOT based on the most that can be weezled out of you like other bass companies do.  I make these babies and make them play great.
