Emlyn Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Here's a picture of my US '76 modified Precision (with bridge pick-up) next to my fretless Japanese '92 Jazz. Both sound great, Fender Mod Shop Stacked pick ups in the Jazz. Quote
LiamPodmore Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 [quote name='Immo' timestamp='1327756842' post='1516299'] That's the one of the coolest P's I've seen. A pity that she has those EMG's (I guess - I don't like their sound too much). If you want to replace it with something, try expensive but worthy 'Ligthnin' Rod' pickup by Seymour Duncan - they're active but deliver truly vintage sound. Don't know how they did this [/quote] Thanks Immo, i noticed you posted this on my NBD thread aswell, but i don't think i got back to you. When i have the cash i'll have a look into one of those and see what tasty vintage flavours come out of it. Strange thing, playing lots of modern music and wanting a vintage Precision sound.

tony_m Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Not as exciting / epic as some on the thread, but here's the first split-coil P I've had since my very first bass (a Tanglewood Lone Wolf) back in 1990-summat - a Squier CV '60s Precision, recently acquired from G-funk45 of this parish (who didn't say anything in his ad about it being fitted with Wizard Thumper pups and CTS pots, so that all came as a complete, and very pleasant, surprise - thanks Chris! ).

Roland Rock Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I refinished my 78 P last year in Capri Orange. Now with the proper black screws. Also, as I'm on a reggae tip, I've gone for RS black nylon tapewounds. Quote

And strings - those are TruBass 88's? My favorite strings. Congrats. Quote

Mmmm.... [/quote] Wow, that 1970 Fretless Precision is my dream bass as its the year of my birth and fretless. Totally stunning. Quote
