gsgbass Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) I just acquired this Am. Std. "PJ" Precision. It's an Am. Std. Precision body, with an Am. Std. Jazz neck. CS60's, Precision / Jazz pups, with a side mounted jack. It really plays nice. It's also a Limited Edition, just how many Fender considers Limited Edition is not to clear right now. I guess.

dannybuoy Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I've been eying these up too. Nice to see the burst had a bit of red/yellow to it, it looked a bit dull and brown in the official pics. I don't get why these are priced lower than the US Standards though when they are supposed to be at the same level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Is that one of the "Magnificant Seven" range? I really fancy one of those. PJ, jazz neck and lightweight. Looks good to me. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 [quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1466378018' post='3075437'] Thank you folks for the kind words. The "PJ" Precision is actually a couple of hundred more $ buckaroos, than the regular Am. Std. Precision, or Jazz. [/quote] It's a lovely bass gsgbass and I'm sorely tempted. Strangely, they are about £150 cheaper than an American Standard P or J in the UK. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 That's very nice! There must be a good market for these. Wonder if it'll become part of the range, in a non limited edition sort of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 [quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1466450056' post='3075930'] It would be nice to see them with an Olympic White body, and a Maple board. [/quote] Yes!!! That's one of my favourite colour combos. My jazz is exactly like that. It always gets positive comments. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyellowcar Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Lovely bass. I'm a big fan of everything except the colour scheme, I thought Fender could've been a little more imaginative, especially as it's a limited run. That's personal preference though!

DGBass Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Very nice bass indeed. The Jazz pickup placement is quite interesting, it looks nearer the P pickup than the bridge. I have an old Squire PJ Bass, very similar design with a slim Jazz profile neck but the Jazz pickup is way back beside the bridge on the Squire by comparison with the AM Std.

Musicman20 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 It looks as though the spacing is basically traditional Jazz bridge position, traditional P pickup position, which can look a little cluttered, but it'll be the best of both worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
