Ok, so a kid from my school recently bought a 2006 Fender P Bass Deluxe (even though he never played bass before). It's his first bass which i think is sort of ridiculous for a beginner, but thats just me. Well, He says he got it "used but in new condition" (thats his exact quote) for only $290. But the biggest problem is that he bought it from guitar center (probably the biggest rip-off store ever). My question is, does a p-bass like this depreciate in value THAT much or is he lying about the condition? ( I don't know anything about basses). He says its in great condition but i think for that price, it would be kinda crappy.
Here's the musician's friend link for reference:
