Love it. Would never buy it though, that's a hefty price tag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyellowcar Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Amazing. They have some really fine looking Custom Shop P-basses on there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks79 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'm a total sucker for purple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Love it. However, I'm guessing that it's a custom shop model, therefore new. Surely you could get a real 70s P for the same or even less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks79 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Definitely less than that. It's be cheaper to get a 70's P and get it refinished purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 [quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1418471974' post='2630444'] Definitely less than that.

Noisyjon Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) As much as it is, that's a good price for a new custom shop P these days! e.g. [url="http://www.coda-music.com/fender-custom-shop-precision-bass-p-15040.html"]http://www.coda-music.com/fender-custom-shop-precision-bass-p-15040.html[/url] Edited December 13, 2014 by Noisyjon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Playability and tone are secondary to real age and mojo. Sorry, I can't keep up the charade To be fair I've played some really nice 70s Ps, so there are some gems out there, it's finding them that's the difficulty. Back OT - drool!

Legion Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Nice, but I prefer this one (and its cheaper!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That is nice as well, I'm a fan of maple boards though, so if it came with that, then yeah, maple with blocks and binding ideally! mmmm...

M@23 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 They both look nice. I'll pop them both down on my Christmas list, I reckon. Don't really see those Shaun Hurley Precisions for sale often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rungles Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The rusty jack socket - not one of Fender's best ideas. Do they include a rusty old knackered Whirlwind cable too with dry joints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
