oh thats very nice

Difficult situation When I got back into basses some 10 years ago, a guy that played in the band i was rehersing with was a guitar dealer. Taking pity on me with my 80's Yammy BB1200, he bought some p basses fof me to try one nite. Of the 6 basses, one was a fullerton vintage re-issue and the orther were all 60's precisions The 5 vintage basses were all tired and beat and really not that good - maybe i was unlucky Anyway's i chose the vintage re-issue It was the best bass and at £500 was the cheapest Alas not the best investment - those tired/beat 60's p basses wud be worth a lot now But definately the best sounding bass. I have now tried a lot of fenders The problem with the reissues and the custom shops is that they are not vintage fenders - always leaving the buyer thinking he has been short-changed Hence the (probable) reason why this basschatter is outing this [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/159886-fender-precision-custom-shop-relic-1958-mint-all-case-candy-price-drop/"]http://basschat.co.u...ndy-price-drop/[/url] i think he has a very nice collection of vintage basses anyway to summarise, i think the reissues (especially the fullerton americans and early jap jv's) and custom shops are truly great basses, howvere, the owners will always wonder whether they are as good as the real thing - and in reality they are probably better than many of the real things, but will not be as good as those very rare true holy grail pre-cbs basses - but who can afford those basses anyway

watt?
