spongebob Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Many thanks to all on my other post who helped me to go for a new CV P. Seeing as I only own Rickenbackers otherwise, I was a bit worried about going for a bass priced so differently.....! It arrived yesterday - and TBH, I'm blown away. My previous Precision experience was of the upgraded MIM's, which I really couldn't get on with. I found the MIM a bit too lightweight...it just felt quite unsubstantial and flimsy. What a difference - it actually feels light years ahead of the MIM. The build is excellent - factory set-up is also spot on. No wobbly bits or issues at all. Sound-wise, I'm amazed. Through my Markbass stuff, the tone is intense. What I really like is the whole JJ Burnel tone - in a couple of adjustments to amp settings, it was there. So a bass that costs 1/6 the price of a Ric - I didn't think I would like it so much. I know what I read on here about how good the CV range is, and it really is! Having a Squier headstock doesn't bother me at all when a bass is this good. Got to resist any more........at moment! I've taken a few shots - I know they're cloned, but as they say, no pic, no bass!

Grand Wazoo Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm glad I've did my bit to help you believe that it is a really good bass and not just hype. If ever you are in a store also try their CV 50's P telecaster style and their Jazz, cause each of them has a their individual personality and sound.
