Gorgeous, white and maple is the best combination in my opinion!

Lovely

Very nice GSG, looks a cracker.

Hey Lozz! Happy New Year! Thanks All for the kind words on the Precision. I've had a few good Precisions in 46 years, but this one is the best in my opinion I've had. Playability, tone, and overall quality construction is Right On! I do favor Olympic White / Maple also. Oh yeah, Nylons Rule!

Happy New year - I`ve just re-purchased a white/maple 2008 Precision. I bought it last year, then sold it, and missed it a fair bit. Was actually going to contact the Basschatter concerned and ask if, when he decide to move it on, I could have first refusal but he beat me to it and put it up on here, so I snapped it up. Has a mint green PG - tort usually my fave, but this kindof suits the bass so it`s staying. The 2008 onwards Precisions really are something.

I had the same thing happen with my 2013 Jazz

GSG that's a beauty. Am I alone in enjoying the new bass SMELL you get with a Fender? Open that hardcase and inhale.

[spongebob]

Lovely! Same as mine!

I've always wanted the white/maple combo - timeless IMHO.

[Hobbayne]

It plays well out of the box? The Quality Control of some new Fenders have been a bit suspect recently. My brand new 2011 US Standard had a terrible hump at the top of the neck which resulted in some work to make it playable.

Beautiful looking bass, congratulations! Nice start to the year

The tort guard does look really sweet too.

[theyellowcar]

Lovely looking bass. I would have a black guard on there by now though

[gsgbass]

I like reading that other players are buying back basses, they parted with.

[attachment=181963:2.jpg]The Olympic white/maple neck has become my favorite colour combination now .

That's gorgeous. Looking at the MIM Arctic white colour - does it look as classy as the Olly white (paired with tort pickguard and maple neck)?

I like the [b]Arctic White[/b]. I wish it was available with an Am. Std. Bass. The Arctic white I think, looks great with a Maple board. I would think the Tort would be fine, I just really like the White Pearl better.
