theyellowcar Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I've been reluctant to post this as I've been trying to sell on another bass before getting too excited about my new acquisition, but now HowieBass is kindly taking my Squier off my hands, I present to you my new MIM Precision! Bought from Mike (michino) last weekend, it's a real cracker. Got it home, slapped a new set of strings on and it instantly felt like home. I didn't think I would stick with the white guard (inner Matt Freeman was screaming BLACK) but I've grown to love it. Quote

[/quote] Good, because as we know there just isn't a viable alternative for a black bass! You gotta love a maple neck, too. Happy bass day. Quote

MarkG3 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Very nice! Had no idea that MIM could come with maple necks...... Quote
hamfist Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Lovely. But it's gotta be tort or black pickguard on that. It's the law. Quote

Tort ONLY works with various shades of white (preferably aged oly white or vintage white), OR sunburst.

Green Alsatian Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 White pearloid works very well on black - especially if it's got a slight cream tint to the pearloid bits. Goes well with the maple fretboard. Quote

Bassman Sam Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Well done that man, this bass is now perfect. Quote

HowieBass Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Hi Dave and yesssss the VM Precision is currently my favourite bass... if I could own only one instrument it'd be a P bass! I've been listening to Future Of The Left in the car and hearing the P bass in everything LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkTvISL53HQ Quote
