Sibob Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 I've been after a Precision 5 string for a while now, there aren't really many options about (that are passive and not P/J), but managed to find a Fender American Professional P5 for an excellent price. Very impressed with it so far, came with a nice setup, and I of course have out La Bella flats straight onto it! Wasn't sure about the Antique Olive in photos, but it's actually a really nice finish in person, especially with the mint scratchplate: However, I also managed to pick up one of the Player series (MIM) Precisions for a good price too. I'm actually very impressed, needed a tiny bit of work on the setup, but it's dialled in and it sounds excellent, finish is great....if I keep it, I'll put a black scratch plate on it likely: Si 12 Quote
ezbass Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Love the colour of that 5 string. Enjoy. 1 Quote
LewisK1975 Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Nice, saw one of the buttercream P's in PMT Cardiff last weekend. My first thought was also 'That's screaming for a BWB scratchplate... Quote

Soledad Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Very nice pair! I reckon the MIM 4 might suit a tort plate, or black. Not the white, it's like a mashup banana custard thing. The only small thing about the P5s is the asymetric pups - I am a bit OCD so it won't bother most. Love Ps, well done for being a sturdy champion of the finest bass ever (from a bloke who plays Jazzes too). Quote

The Players are really good basses, congrats on both. 1 Quote
