Raslee Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Rarely do I do a NBD as I change my basses on what seems almost like a daily basis .....not in search of the eternal wonderful tone I hasten to add, rather i just like trying different basses and gear.....and it seems Mrs Raslee is for life and probably would result in too much of a [s]financial[/s] emotional loss to change that one...as often. Basses are easier to flirt with and swap around.....ahem crude hypothesis alert! Anyhow enough ramble, out with the Stingray (which I loved for a while but time for a change), and in with a 2012 USA Precision with a nod to the Jamerson look that I dig. By god does it sing - think the trader said it had a 60's type pick up???, It is really funky, light, and well just sexy and simple.....don't get me wrong I'm 'probably' a jazz man at heart but i do bloody love a good P and so far this seems pretty darn good......I'm sure I'll sell it soon when the honeymoon 24hrs wears off as I'm clearly a self confessed gear [s]consultant [/s]tart at heart - P Love to all the P lovers....i'm back in the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Very nice, imo the 2012-16 US Standard Precisions are the nicest ones Fender have made, cracking basses and that is a quality colour scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 That looks the business, I've got a couple of post 2012 US Precisions, but still miss my sunburst one sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzbass Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 exactly the same as my 2013 P Fender CS60s pickups, possibly the best pups in decades. Concensus seems to say the 2010 to 2016 Am Stnds are the best ever, I can't rgue with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiliwailer Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) This 2012-16 series really is the dogs boll*cks. I have a 2015 Jazz Bass and since I put a series / parallel switch in it's one of my most used basses. Which is quite odd as I'm really a P man .

luckman67 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Like everyone has said the 2012-16 Am.Std are phenomenal and the Custom Shop pickups, are the finishing touch to these basses defiantly Fender's best to date. I bought mine new back in Jan '15 & love the light weight & great feeling neck, hope you enjoy owning yours as much as I am with mine . The only things I've added are Fender flatwounds & Fender strap locks .

But then I'm a huge Ramones fan. Edited April 24, 2017 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckman67 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I always liked the look of the AVRI '57 Precision, blonde/maple neck with the gold scratchplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
