My favourite flavour!

Baaad attitude, dude...
[quote name='4 Strings' post='668810' date='Nov 28 2009, 11:37 PM'][b]The neck is a wide handful, slowing play down and I find them the most fiddly to set up. Constantly going back to reach perfection, especially intonation. These don't play themselves like some modern basses, they need work.[/b]
The standard Fender B neck, 1.625", is the same nut width as a Strat guitar neck. Not big at all, nor nearly as chunky as, say, Warwick necks. C neck, 1.75" starts to feel big, but not overly so, IMHO. The extra effort, that's part of the sound...you put in effort, good sounds come out. Plays itself? Only has its own tone, then. And, as a tech, I have to ask: what is simpler to set up? No bass I've yet met...
[b]However, despite crinkly tin bridge, loads of sustain, deep tones and punch, but often give flat spots half way up the G string.[/b]
The bridge does exactly what it needs to, and no other has done more than tweak it, at best. Few wooden basses are completely free of deadspots, whoever makes them.
[b]The bridge is right back near the end of the body and so this brings the end of the neck nearer the player. Despite this they are neck heavy.[/b]
I've said this many times, and in many places: in 40 years, I've never met a neck-heavy Precision.
[b]There are better guitars around but these are iconic, classic and will get the job done as well as you can play it. Not perfect, not the best but you have to have deep pockets to buy better.[/b]
True. Almost. IMHO, there are not many better basses around. But I [i]am[/i] a little biased!
[b]Unless you slap. Not great for slap.[/b]
Not the best for slap, true...but do-able![/quote]
