ashgeezer Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 i bought a cheap crappy bass at christmas just gone as i wanted a precision style bass to knock about on while i was saving up for a mexican precision (cant afford a jap or a usa model just yet. . i have now bought my precision so have decided to use the crap one to practice wiring up electrics,spraying,staining etc, doesnT sound to bad for a piece of s**t. so far i"ve sprayed the headstock 2 different colours and the scratchplate to match (it looks weird but i like weird). Basically i would recomend it to anyone if they want to get into learning about doing up basses or guitars, anyone else do the same thing,once i put it back together (its in pieces in my living room as we speak) i"ll try and post a pic on here but i"ve yet to get to grips with this computer lark.

charic Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 If you find the right MIM it can be an absolute JOY to play. Ive never found another fender i like as much as my MIM. God knows why but hey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashgeezer Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 i was torn between a mexican precision or jazz but went with the precision as i prefer the sound, mines the electric blue one but i"ve changed the colour of the pickguard from white to wine red as i hate black or white scratchplates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
