Fitzy73 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Greco for me.but make sure you check it out first if possible I love the Japanese stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry warrington Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 will have to travel to pick it up,taking a bit of a chance. How much would a used 50s Mex precision b worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumnote Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 the fender reissue 50s bass is really good, lovely neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 For collectability (though it's still a limited market) the Greco. For playing and ease of upgrading or replacing parts in the future, the Mex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Having owned both I would go with the Mexican 50's bass but, every bass is different the Greco may be the best one they ever made the 50's could be a dodgy one that you don't take to, if you can try both before you decide that will give you best guidance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 [quote name='bumnote' timestamp='1441560676' post='2859840'] the fender reissue 50s bass is really good, lovely neck. [/quote] +1 fantastic bass, that Classic 50 series Precision. That would be my choice without hesitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Steve Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 If the Greco is with Mark at Classic and Cool then you can buy with confidence as he is an excellent guy to deal with. He will have other stuff you can try too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
