mic mac moe Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Its my 40th and I've just been to collect my MIA Precision from Rimmers in Blackpool.There's nothing like coming home and hearing a new bass through your own amp is there?This is easily the best sounding bass and I've had a few over t'years!!The feel and the style and all that bassy goodness have eased me into my 40's and to quote Goldmember "itsh a keeper!" Go out and buy one as soon as!!!!! Quote
Jase Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Yeah, there's nothing like bringing the new baby home, congratulations!!! did you have a boy or girl? Quote

OutToPlayJazz Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Sounds lovely! Lots of people are buying these atm! Got any pics? Quote
RayFW Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I recently bought my first "proper" Precision - a new American Standard, and I absolutely love it. It needed a few tweaks and a proper set up (done by Ged Green in Wilmslow - top bloke and recommended) but it is rapidly becoming my favourite bass. I should have bought one years ago. Quote

mic mac moe Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks fella!!! Don't think a red tort would look too nice,maybe a black one! Digging the S1 switch that nobody else seems to like.And loving that smoothness!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
ashevans09 Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 I personally love the black/tort/maple combo, but go for what sings for you mate, lovely bass nevertheless Just got a P myself, fallen in love with bass again! Quote
niceguyhomer Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) I think black and tort looks ok when the fretboard is rosewood as in my P ...but not so good when it's a maple board as in my DJ Dutch accent ...yesh yesh yesh...more toit and far sexier black on black. Shmoke and a pancake? Edited April 15, 2008 by niceguyhomer Quote

Jono Bolton Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Yep, red tortoise shell for me too. Although, black would look good too, but tort, definitely! Quote

john_the_bass Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 there was a poll a while ago about the colour combos - but i go with what homer says - black/tort/rosewood and black/black/maple Quote
