yorks5stringer Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 It can't be as "it is one of the top models in the £350 price bracket"... To be fair his local music shop may have charged him top whack on it but in this age of the internet it takes no time to do a price comparison.

joe_bass Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 "This Squire Bass is in my opinion as good as any USA made Precision " ....& is therefore priced accordingly. "it has been professionally set up and plays very well" Ah that explains it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 weird as he has other basses and guitars for sale, the Precision is priced more realistically although it's a "bitsa" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_the_bassist Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 dumbass question here....how come it's a Squire P, but has Jazz pups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) The 'Squire' 5 String precision has to, because the 4 string Precision pickups cover 2 strings each, so with 5 you would need 1 larger than the rest if you kept the same configuration....
