I've got terrible GAS for two more Precisions. A classic 50's black/maple and a Road Worn sunburst/maple. Both with replacement black pickguards. But it's going to be a loooooong time before I can have either.

Silly thing is, it's purely looks that makes me want them because my USA does everything I want and need.

[Lozz196]

My next Precision is on its way. 1977, in black, with black pickguard, maple neck/fretboard, ash body. Will be a nice mate for my 77 in vintage blond (now a dirty yellow) with black pickguard, rosewood fretboard, ash body. Just gotta wait til next Thursday.

Once I`ve got it, methinks a photo is going to have to go up of the pair of them.

That bass looks great, Where did you get the scratchplate ??? did you make it ?
[/quote]


I may have replied to this already, but I can't find it. Anyway... I covered the original white pickguard with some diamond plate vinyl I found on ebay It's dead easy, just need a bit of patience and a very sharp stanley knife.

Happy Friday! I got a Precision today and well .... I get it, completely get it. From the moment I began tuning it, I just got it .

In the space of four short months I've got myself a jazz, a precision and a fretless bass and the difference in each of them is just perfect. I've bought a HW One Precision that is perfect company for the HW One Jazz - pics tomorrow once there is more favourable light .

I am totally happy with this purchase (via here of course), the bass is in great condition has flats on so no need to rush out and get strings tomorrow. I shall now officially be a recluse unless I'm going to visit SpaceChick or the local music shop / gig or bass related outing.

What a start to the weekend. I've two NBD's in two weeks. I won't be this lavish very often but I could certainly get used to it.

x 1000.

Will definitely enjoy and it's impossible to be away from DG for very long. Bet you can guess what name is in the short list for the bass

[kevin_lindsay]

Deb - mega!!!! Hope you have loads of fun with your new bass.

The moment you *completely* get it is when you realise that all other basses are irrelevant hahaha!

No but seriously, congratulations on the new bass and I hope you enjoy it a whole load! I'm looking forward to the aforementioned photos

[Bassman Steve]

Pretty much agree with you Evil. Irrelevant for any music I want to play anyway (other types of music are available).

Hehe, I know, just trying to be funny but for me, the Precision is the sound I hear in my head and the only bass I'm interested in playing.

[nick]

Here's my '84 Tokai Hard Puncher, not sure what model it is, maybe a PB40(?)
Had it for about 15 years. In that time had many basses come & go, but this has always remained in my collection. It's generally my go-to bass & main one when I need a bass with roundwounds.
Changed stock pickup for a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 'Vintage', added the tortoishell pickguard, recently fitted a John East P-Retro & strung with DR nickel Lo-Riders. Otherwise it's stock, though I've been thinking about replacing the tuners for a while.
The neck is fast, not far off a jazz bass width & with a deep U profile - similar to a 70's P-Bass, really nice to play, comfortable.



Cheers

I've had some late 70's Precisions in the past that weighed about 11 Lb's !
Lighter the better for me

[debwilliams]

Here are a few pics of the HW One P I got yesterday and am now totally besotted with. There is nothing I dislike about this bass, and loads of things that I adore. Delighted is well and truly an understatement.

P basses are the way forward from this day ..... here he is
