mcnach Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Well, I have not received it yet. In fact, I have not paid for it yet. But it's happening. I haven't been this excited about a new bass in... well, never! The Stingray was very close, 'though. Yup, I'm getting a Fender Precision. Me, the P-bass hater. Who would have thought it? And it's largely due to those pesky Sue Ryder P-basses. But why do I buy a Fender Precision if I already have not one, not two but three SR P-basses? Well... it's not just any Precision, this one. Oh no! It's very special. But I will not say what it is yet. Not until I have it with me and can take pictures myself to post. But you are allowed to guess Edited March 27, 2011 by mcnach Quote
paul_5 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 It's Jaco's P Bass from that bloke on eBay... Quote
Ou7shined Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Hmmm. Boy meets OLP, boy falls head over heels in love with OLP, boy professes love to whole internet, boy meets Stingray, boy falls in love with Stingray. Boy meets Sue Ryder, boy falls head over heels in love with Sue Ryder, boy professes love to whole internet, boy meets Fender P..... I think we're starting to see a pattern here. Congrats Jose. I'm sure we'll hear aaaaall about it once it arrives. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Erm pre CBS Jose? This is why company's like fender aren't bothered about all the copies and even make money from their own copies. Intrigued............. Quote
icastle Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Fender have bought out a limited edition Ryder bass? Quote

I'm not in love with the SR P-basses, but they're fun, and they did have something that other P-style basses I'd tried before did not. Them, and another "happy incident", led to this particular P-bass. I'm not switching Stingray to P-bass, by the way. But yes, you'll hear aaaaall about it Quote

LukeFRC Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 P basses are allergic to active gubbins don't you know? I've not tested that btw A 9th bass? well ill be through in edinburgh in 3 sundays time if you want me to clear some space for you Quote

I can't promise I would be able to entirely keep myself from doing it. A P-Retro seems like a mighty thing... Maybe. Quote

I don't put all my basses in my signature It's an affliction. From time to time I get rid off most of them, keeping just the ones I really use... but new ones always creep back in. Quote
pete.young Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I think it looks a bit like this, but with fewer frets. Must get some decent pictures done. The temptation to have a matching fretted/fretless pair was strong, but I resisted. Quote

P basses are pretty awesome though, I the last few months went through 3 different Jazz basses, and sold them as well why would I need 3 basses. Then we have a wee practice so the warwick streamer is taken.... and argh everything is awful sounding.... come to the gig i take the P bass and suddenly everything fits in, and the band fit together tonaly and, yeah, it sounds good. Going from active basses to passive P bass is a jump, they react differently.... but play it a wee while and suddenly it all fits into place and that passive bass tone.... mmmm Personally I still kinda want a jazz though! as well, im sure you can understand!

I would always notice. Always. Every single one has its place, even if it's just on the wall as for "I still kinda want a jazz though!"... No, I do not understand that. You said "a" jazz. That seems to imply a single instrument... Surely you must have meant it in plural! Quote
