Happy Jack Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-51-Precision-Bass-Butterscotch-MIJ-/140452289373?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20b39bdb5d"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-51-Precision-...=item20b39bdb5d[/url] I had one of these briefly (in original spec, I hasten to add). I have to wonder what this sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 A bit steep price wise, especially as that mod isn't going to be for everyone's tastes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Oh dear. Fair enough the bridge pup (if a little close bridge wise) but that neck J is only half the job. Edited September 11, 2010 by Ou7shined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as good as a 2009 mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 "it was improved in 2010" well, no it wasn't - you buy a '51 reissue cos its a single coil P bass, Jazz basses are ten a penny so if you wanted a Jazz you'd buy a Jazz surely? When standard '51s are going between £300-400, adding £200+ for work that maybe cost £100 to have done is a tad steep. Especially when I've seen US Jazz basses going for £450+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, I agree with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
