Very well packed! I too enjoy taking multiple pictures of boxes, fillers, tape , stuffing, bubble wrap, shipping labels, country of origin stickers. Even video the UPS truck arriving and leaving. The tiny bits of static stryrofoam sticking to everything is just a thrill. noBody, and I mean nobodie packs merchandise as well as the good people of Indokneeshza.

In my opinion, one cannot go wrong with the CV series. It's a great-looking bass. Enjoy it!
I always save the original packaging.
I'm no expert but, they did misspell "trus." Some may say that I'm picking fly poop out of pepper with boxing gloves on but, I have learned through the world wide web of deceit that this casts some doubt on the item's authenticity. Just sayin'.
It sure is a good looker. Enjoy!
The "duncan designed" pickups in my Squier VM fretless Jazz actually sound better than the pickups in my MIM Jazz
it is definitely beautiful...but i agree with your wife!
good for you! that ax is a looker, no doubt about it. if it plays as good as it looks = you win! congratulations on your new instrument!

That is a really pretty bass, the maple neck and the body color and the black pickguard are gorgeous!
Very nice indeed!
I didn't have quite the same luck when I snatched up the same model from PAS, mine wasn't "open box" (which we all know is new) but I appear to have gotten the intern overseeing my fretwork. Was by far the worst fretwork on any instrument I've owned.
But, once I gave it the TLC it needed (albeit as my first time filing frets it's super ugly) it plays great and sounds absolutely amazing! I mean, the freaking tone on this thing is outrageous for the price. It's the most woody sounding P-bass I've played (which I love). It has absolutely everything I could want tonally from a Precision, and looks killer to boot.
Congrats on the purchase, glad you got one that was just right out of the box, enjoy!

Sweetwater posts a bunch of pictures of the ones they have available, look at the back of the headstock shots they'll show you the serial number and country of manufacture. I'm sure if you call them and specify you want a Chinese built they can do that assuming they have them in stock. FWIW I have Chinese, Indo, and now MIM and really the quality amongst all has been equivalently good.
