Is Kansas' Carry on Wayward Son done on a precision?  I think so, but a lot of people seem to think it's a Ric.

And here's a youtube Isolated Bass:

 

It's a Precision. I suspect flats. All the early Kansas albums are. I don't think Dave Hope ever played a Rick, but he did switch to Steinbergers later on.

Surprised I didn't think of that. Its one of my fav things to play. I've played it on all sorts of basses and it lends itself well to each different bass tone. Still best on a p bass though, i had a 96 fender usa special edition (the most p bass, p bass I ever heard lol) which nailed it.

Bruce did get a great sound from his Precision. You have to get the action right so when you dig in the frets add to the tone. I think his D string is close to fretting out. A Marshall Super Bass on the edge of breakup helps get that bottley sound too. A well setup Precision bass where the action can go low is a thing to behold for rock.
