Different (better?) body wood (soft maple vs. agathis). Different (better?) pickups on the VM series (Duncan Designed). Probably a slightly better second hand value when it's time to move on. What I've said is based upon you meaning a fretted one. Better is a subjective measure. Some people hate block inlays. Some people don't give a toss about what body wood is used. It's up to you.

Waldo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The Vintage Modified ones are real nice, definatly worth the extra cash if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 If you look at it subjectively, they aren't that much more expensive. And yes, the pickups are far superior, especially on the Precisions. The split coil duncan designed pickup is a real stonker. Quality is a lot nicer as well. I had the 70's jazz in the past & it's a really nice instrument, but I now have the Jaco-esque Jazz fretless. Nice things for the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
