Some more photos of this lovely little U-bass, which I can't believe hasn't sold! -
Welcome to the world of bass. As has already been said - try as many as you can... they can differ so much from one another, and the same models can even play very differently when set up in a different way (or not properly).

Welcome. Enjoy the low end of music 😀

Hi @zhillera I started playing in the early 80's. Didn't play that long, and had an absence of nearly 25 years. So I know what that's like.... funnily enough, i enjoy it even more than i did back then. I'm with you on the varied taste too. I like a bit of classical, was into rock, then developed a liking for punk, ska & reggae, and these days I like folk & world music. Yes, playing upright bass is more physical than you might think. I've tried convincing a DB player to try Uke Bass rather than give up. I don't think I'd manage without playing at all 😱 Welcome to BC, and welcome back to the world of Bass. Hello from South Wales

2008 Squier Classic Vibe 60s Precision Bass in Sonic Blue MIC
Marc S replied to danbanbass's topic in Basses For Sale
I had one of these (and still have the Fiesta Red version). They honestly are awesome quality, and sound & play superbly. The newer Indonesian CV's are great too - but these are even better. There are times I think I should have kept mine.... but I still have too many. A common "problem", I know 😉 I don't know the seller - but I know these basses are superb. GLWTS -

FS: Fender MIJ 62RI/Allparts 70'S Jazz Bass £600 - *SOLD*
Marc S replied to Beedster's topic in Basses For Sale
Ooh, I need to thin the collection. Ooh, I don't need another bass. Ooh, I don't really need a Jazz bass..... But Ooh, Ooh, this is just lovely. Sigh 😉 -
I've not tried one of the new Vintera Roadworn Precisions - but the Classic 50's bass, mentioned above is an absolute cracker of a bass. Also, the earlier China-made CV's are superb. I had one of the Classic 50's P's, and I now own an early CV again (having sold one in the past). As others have said - try one of the Vintera RW's if you can... the suggestion of finding a seller with a good returns policy might be the best way forward for you. But having owned several iterations of Precisions over thr years, my old 50's Classic, and my early CV have been as good as any. I swing slightly more to the CV - a decent 2nd hand one is the best bang for buck IMHO. Oh, and I now wish I hadn't sold my MIM Roadworn P.... but there you go! Lol Good luck with your search, and let us know what you decide.
