I've only ever played the awesome Basic model. I'd love one of those.

And... what would be a reasonable price. ? (I know that question is subjective, but any information will be twice as much as I know. !! Thanks for any/all input. [/quote] I have a black precision SX mate. It's a nice bass. Youcan't buy them in this country but I got mine off Rondo music, imported I think it cost about £150 quid including import/duty and all that lot. My band mates have commented on the good tone in band practice. I do find the neck hard work, they are notoriously large necks but that is probably me being a jazz bass player for so long, precisions normally have bigger necks. I'm actually looking to upgrade to a Fender precision soon so if I'm selling it I'll let you know. You can't really go wrong with them for the money although I would personally say all the talkbass comments about them being Fender beaters are wide of the mark. My MIM fender jazz is still the superior bass in my opinion although it cost twice as much. Any more info you need let me know.

Great sound mate. Really enjoyed that.

Well it took all day but I'm pretty pleased with the results. My band is called Pencil In, we are from Preston and here is the slightly shortened version of one of our best songs, Back and to the Left. Hope you like it folks and I'd welcome any comments.

Unfortunately mate, that's generally the nature of the beast. I find P necks are often very chunky compared to Jazz necks and I don't get on with them much either. I play an SX P bass and the neck is huge compared to my MIM jazz bass. Maybe look for cheap deals on Warmoth and build your own? I think their J necks fit all the P bodies.

Squire version would be much the same, but simpler construction, materials, and hardware He has the appeal across the spectrum really, older players dig him for his time in RATM, the younger players (especially those starting out) for his time in Audioslave.[/quote] yeah, he should have one. A bit of a bass god in my eyes. Also, I'd love to see a Larry Graham sig like the sunburst Fender you can see on the sleeve of There's a Riot going on maybe an aged model.

I'd keep it man unless you really aren't playing it. That's a fine bass, as nice as P basses come.

Hi guys just thought I would mention my band, Pencil In are playing Academy 3 in Manchester on 15th October. Think it's five quid to get in. Check us on Myspace: [url="http://www.myspace.com/pencilin"]http://www.myspace.com/pencilin[/url] Cheers.

That looks awesome in that colour. It looks strangely modern in white. Always kind of liked the SG basses myself. What would a decent s/h Gibson set me back?

Well got the duty invoice today for £16.80! I'm made up, this bass has cost me £130 stock! That's brilliant.

Cheers mate, it's already been purchased and cut to shape. SX and Fender dimensions are VERY different. Just need a few spare hours to get the electronics sorted this week and I'm done.
