Immo Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 [quote name='gareth' timestamp='1336037872' post='1639727'] you are probably right about the neckplate although i think 60 years of precision is something to be proud of and maybe even shout about [/quote] Only those stickers with 'CE' and "Don't dispose off with reular trash" should be removed! The plate itself is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 This is a fantastic bass! Here's why:- 1. Super light - a shade under 8lbs - those in the know will appreciate what I am saying - under 8lbs for an ash bodied precision! 2. Thin skin laquer finish with detailed figured grain ash below - trans type/see thru finish 3. Maple capped maple board - hence no shunk stripe. 4. This bass being a celebration of 60 years of precision combines the best bits of those 60 years - split pickup, light weight, post-tele type headstock, lightweight tuners with traditional keys, super snug neck to body joints, CS quality finish, great fretwork, grooved bridge, graphite reinforced neck, stringthru, etc, etc The bass is well balanced, light, super resonant un-ampllified, wonderful deep p bass tones when amplified, no fret buzz yet low action, no deadspots.

Old Horse Murphy Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 My latest trio including a brace of P Basses. From left to right is my 98 Stingray Fretless, a 2012 Shuker JJ Burnel Signature and my 1989 body/2008 neck P Bass. The 89 P Bass is and always will be my go-to No. 1 bass. The Stingray is a wonderful instrument and joins the "not going anywhere club" too. Whether the Shuker joins remains to be seen, although from first impressions there's a strong possibility it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't like red finishes, I don't like gold hardware, and I don't like white pearl scratchplates, but somehow when the three of them come together it works! It reminds me of an old Squier Protone I saw, except that was a 5er and had a rosewood neck. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stelios82k Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thank you Jono Bolton. It's like an ugly girl with nice tits, an ungly girl with nice ass and a very fat girl with beautiful face. if you combine the best parts it might end nice...... sorry for the explicit language, didn't know more polite words! and sorry for the girls (it was just an example. if anyone is offended replace girl with guy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
