Lozz196 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Sounds like these are good basses, am yet to read anything negative about them. Not sure about the choice of SD QPs (purely as not sure if NM actually has them in his basses or not) but they can easily be swapped out. Other thing is, most people posting about these don`t even seem to claim to be massive Foo/Nate fans, but still really rate these basses. Gotta be a thumbs-up for them and Fender MIM in particular, considering how many seem to like to bash MIMs. I`d like to try one myself, but I`d probably end up wanting/buying one, so safest of I don`t.

omikin Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 How long do these signature models usually stay in circulation for? I'm really tempted by this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus bell Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I've played loads of precisions, I.e squier, us fender etc... And this one really stood out, also the idea of having a brand new bass that looks slightly distressed seemed cool Plays excellently, lovely neck, build quality is great, love the colour and the headstock with 70's logo and tuners, just a great looking and playing instrument Recommend one to anyone!

omikin Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Tried one of these out on Friday and I'm getting one. Beautiful neck and superb finish all over. Lovely sound from the pups. What's the best price people have seen for this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I saw one on a stand in N/castle. Nice looking bass. Are they finished in nitro? I'm guessing the slightly worn finish is actually poly? If its nitro, this is one of the biggest Fender deals in a long time! I'm not a big fan of red basses, so it still doesn't scream 'buy me', but it is growing on me. The bridge actually looks quite cool. Compared to the AV 62 Reissue next to it, it actually looked like it had been made with a little more care and attention.

Dingus Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 These basses look like a really good bet to me . A Fender Precision with a ( kind of ) Jazz Bass neck , a decent high output pickup and very good bridge . Not keen on the colour myself , but it would look much better with a vintage white scratchplate . Candy apple red with black just doesn't look good or vintage - correct to me . This could be a very useful bass for anybody , not just people with tattoos and beards . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omikin Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Another question: if I wanted to replace the pick guard could I buy any p bass pick guard or should I get a US std one or a mexican std one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzbass2000 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It's a great package. Nitro body... slightly narrower width neck than a normal modern precision, but shallower so the "circumference" is much the same a Jazz. SD 1/4 pounders with no logo... tastefully worn as opposed to reliced body (they come with Road Worn series tags). Not too heavy.. not too light. 70's logo. Tinted neck (although I think that's poly not nitro... can't make my mind up about this). Cool Foo Fighters neck plate as well as normal Fender one.... there's lot to love. Only odd thing was mine arrived with strap lock buttons fitted, but not the other bit you put on your guitar strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omikin Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Picking mine up tomorrow. Haven't had explicit clearance from my line manager, but I'm going to work on the principle that it's better to ask forgiveness than permission.
