Sibob Posted November 22, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisK1975 Posted November 22, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soledad Posted November 22, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Players are really good basses, congrats on both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
