    @neepheid Just ordered one from guitarguitar. How are you getting along with yours?

    That rosewood fingerboard looks lovely. I've got the Pro II Precision and build quality and finish is excellent. I wish I were in a better financial position should you decide to move it on, I miss having a Jazz bass.

    I bought @Quatschmacher identical Pro II and absolutly love it. The necks are sublime (IMO) and the build quality and finish are first class too. The reshaped body allows easy access to the dusty end of the fingerboard which really helps on the odd occasion I venture up there. If funds were ever to allow, I'd like one of these with the rosewood board or even one like this and have it strung with round wounds but alas, that won't be for a while. Whoever buys this, I'm sure, will be a happy bunny!

    Used set of Dunlop Flats for sale. Cut for a through body Precision bass. Well under a year old with light to moderate use. I loved these on my Jazz bass but I found them just a little too bright for my Pbass so were replaced with Labellas. £17 Price includes UK postage.

    Oh wow! So cool - really takes me back to the good old days 😎

    I was quite surprised with the difference between the stock US pickup on my '95 Precision and the Custom Shop '62 I replaced it with. Well worth the upgrade IMO if you want that old school vibe.

    Used black 3 ply scratch plate in good used condition. Taken off a USA Precision, probably not a Fender original but a great fit and quality. Price includes UK postage.

    A set of used Rotosound (so I was told) flats taken off a Precision bass. Quite a high tension which I like but a bit too dull for me. A great opportunity to try out flat wounds without spending the big bucks. Price includes UK postage.

    I need that chair in my life! Nice bass BTW 😎

    I've used UPS for a couple of years now without any issue. I've only had two occasions when the (UK) delivery wasn't on the following day but to be fair they have been excellent.

    I have a set of Rotosound fitted to a Precision bass and they do seem pretty dull and muted to me across all 4 strings but all balanced. They're ok but I preferred the Labellas I had on a Pbass I once owned. On my other Precision I've recently fitted a set of Detroit flats. Like the OP the A,D and G are fine, quite nice sounding in fact but the E is nowhere. I've tried re stringing a couple of times but its makes no difference. I'm wondering if it doesn't like thru body stringing? The bridge on my US '95 P is thru body only BTW. So, I replaced the offending E with a Dunlop where the difference is night and day. It blends nicely with the Elites and when the A,D&G newness wares off I think it'll be spot on and what I want to hear from my bass.

    Lozz sold me a set of Precision pickups. A first class Basschatter who was happy to hold them for me until payday. Great comms and speedy postage - Perfect. Cheers 😎

    I have a '95 US Precision Bass that I'd like to upgrade pup wise, a set of Labellas and use as my 'Motown bass'. So my question is, what's the difference between the two pickups and what set to go for?

    I'm now the proud owner of Peters Fender Precision Pro II. 😎 A great transaction with a top Basschatter. Perfect communications throughout! Very happy with the excellent bass and excellent seller. Cheers!

    Jimmy bought my G&L bass. Another great Basschatter and flawless transaction. A pleasure to do business with! Many thanks 😎

    Alan bought my Ibanez bass. Absolute pleasure to deal with! Great communications throughout. Top guy! Cheers

    That'll do nicely 🙂

    What was the weights like of the two? I think I'd be hard pushed to pick between them as the SB-1 also looks very tempting. Sadly there's no shops around here that stock them so trying them out is near impossible. My Fullerton JB was excellent, first class build quality and finish but just too damn heavy unfortunately.

    Not a great fan of 'Road Worn' but I do like that one.

    Nice one Matt. looking forward to your review.
  23. bigthumb
    Thanks mate. And where was it from?
  24. bigthumb
    As much as I love the look of the bass, the type of wood is a bit of an unknown to me. I have now seen some cheaper basses with pine body woods but not anything yet of £1k plus basses. It really dose put me off buying one if I'm honest. Also @neepheid is your incoming bass the LB-100 Tribute?
  25. bigthumb
    I think it looks stunning but the body wood? I'm just wondering what it would be like? I can't imagine pine being too heavy, its a pity they don't give a weight to it.
