hamfist Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I'm not usually impressed by fancy woods but that's a stunning fretboard.

Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Probably an impossible question to answer, but how does it compare tonally to a Precision?

[/quote] Having a Fender MIA P I can say it compares very favourably and the p retro allows you to dial in mid cut thump or mid hump clank Through headphones they sound pretty much the same
sk8 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 There is a paint chip on the back of the bass. I'll take some pictures over the weekend

aldude Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I'm wondering how this compares to a jazz - in terms of sound, though I'm familiar with the U-retro preamp and know you can get a massive range of sounds from that one, but also in terms of general feel and playability.

[/quote] As sounds go it only has one pup BUT the p retro allows you to choose and boost the mids so you can get some honk. I always backed off the bridge and had the neck pup full on my jazzes so that was more of a thumpy sound anyway. As far as in the hand goes it's got a 40mm nut width so slightly wider than a traditional jazz at 38mm but I would say it is a faster neck than any jazz I have had and it feels great in the hand

Prime_BASS Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I would have brought this had it had a bridge pickup, but I went with a dual pickup Finn instead. To anyone thinking of buying this, do it. Great basses from ACG, can't seem put mine down.

[/quote] It is a great bass and the p retro allows you to exploit the one pup to get a good variety of tones. My custom ACG has a PB at the neck and an RFB at the bridge. All coupled through a four way switch and p retro
