danbowskill Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 1 hour ago, Jackroadkill said: Not much difference between these two, other than colour and scratchplate type the main difference is that the black bass has a Himass bridge and the white one doesn't. I've added a thumb block to the white one and if I enjoy it will do the same to the black. They're just bog standard Player basses and I love them. Simple, effective and they play and sound great. The black one is for standard tuning and the white one for full D / weird tunings (one of the guys in the band keeps talking about Soundgarden covers and I'm hoping the bass can cope with the demented tunings required). Nice 👌 2 1 Quote
Jackopie1 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 My favourite bass! The colour is almost pastel in person. 6 Quote
How1 Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) As from this morning I’m the proud owner of a brand spanking Fender Player Precision. It’s the first stock Precision I’ve ever owned and I’m loving it. I’ve nearly always had jazz neck type basses so this is pleasantly different. Edited May 24, 2023 by How1 10 Quote
Jono Bolton Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Sent my P Bass build away to David Wilson for a refinish. It was 3-tone sunburst, but is now sonic blue. The picture doesn't pick up the true colour, it's a fair bit lighter in real life. It's got a light relic finish, similar to the Fender Journeyman CS relics. Specs are: a Fender MIJ 70s P body, Fender Road Worn 50s P neck, Creamery Classic '58 pickup, Fender anodised aluminium pickguard, ashtrays, knobs, and tugbar, Squier JV reverse gear tuners, Hosco threaded saddle bridge, and Gotoh strap buttons, string tree, and neck plate.

Dicey Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Beaten up dude from the early-mid '70s; Seymour Duncan SPB-1 pickup, replaced pickguard, replaced knobs. Does most of the small scale pub etc gigs where I don't want to risk anything pricier; as a result I'm very attached to him! 7 Quote

How come you changed the pick ups? Quote

The poor creature came to me as a husk, so I had no pickup at the start! I'm very, very happy with the SPB-1 though! In fact, I'm considering another one for the P Bass I'm currently building! 😁 Quote

I missed out on all the gems at an amazing price. glad you like the pick ups. I’ve never tried them before Quote
Pow_22 Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Something slightly different but still precision - my MIM Cabronita that has been modded. I once played a highly ltd edition Borrocha bass that comes from the cabronita line and it was sublime. These ‘standard’ ones share the same outstanding neck so I replaced the pup with the TV Jones Supertron like the borracha and swapped the bridge to a BBOT. Strung with fender flats it is pure thunder and growl 😍 8 1 Quote
Bassman1974 Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 Used some matt gold vinyl to cover the old black pickguard. I was surprised by how well it went with the body colour 15 Quote

Sorry for the questions, it's just I immediately want to go and out together a p just like that! 1 Quote

Thanks man, It's actually an Ash body from Northwest guitars. It was sprayed with black nitro paints in places, rubbed back, and finished with nitro varnish. The neck is a 2005 AM Standard. No, it's not my handy work. Someone with far more skill than me did it! The vinyl is pretty easy to cut and trim. I just searched on YouTube. I've actually just removed the vinyl today, as I wasn't happy with how I finished it, but I'll likely buy more and try again. Its no problem, it's still nice with the black guard. It's a truly fantastic thing to play, and I adore it. I also gave a cheap Jazz of mine the same pickguard treatment last year. It's holding up great 1 Quote
