Skinnyman Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I just bought Iconic's 2009 MIM P bass. He chucked in a set of flats which I fitted this evening. It's my first Precision. and.... Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! I love it. Sorry, I just needed to share. The wife, wonderful as she is, doesn't understand and I just had to tell somebody or I'd burst.... thank you for understanding Quote
SlapbassSteve Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 My 2009 MIM was the bass that converted me to Precisions(well, in my current band anyway...)... had been a jazz man up to that point but it just fits in the mix better, and the chunky neck hugs my left hand reassuringly to stop me from overplaying(too much) when I get bored in the middle of Stand By Me or whatever... Also I like the 70's logo much better then that awful silver one they used up to that point [size=4] [/size] Quote
MarkG3 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 nice one but you know the rules, no pictures = no bass Quote

KiOgon Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Welcome to the wonderful world of P enjoy Quote
Skinnyman Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 I'd post a pic but the bleedin' phone won't sync with the 'pooter....it was in the For Sale section so the pics will be there if I can find the link. It's still lovely. Quote

Playing a decent bass set in a 2-guitar band is like wetting yourself in dark trousers. You get a really warm feeling but no-one else notices.... Quote
Skinnyman Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 And finally, here's the pic!! [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/16icp49.jpg[/IMG] Doesn't really do it justice - at least the picture doesn't show where I've been licking it.....hmmmmm Quote
Lozz196 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Nice, has a very Steve Harris look about it. Quote

Adee Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) I've just aquired one same as this but in Chrome Red, very very nice, the rolled edges on the neck are to die for ! Edited March 1, 2013 by Adee Quote

dmccombe7 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 LOL !!!! Nice bass - enjoy. Some day i might revert back to Precision. Had a fretless one back in late 70's / early 80's. True about the sound just fitting into the mix really well. Dave Quote
