Just not right ....

[solo4652]

Possibly not the best moment for me to be considering selling my SX Precision then!? Just not quite enough room on the fretboard for my big paws. Other than that, I' have no issues or problems with the bass, especially strung with Labella nylons.

 

 

I put some Wilkinsons in mine, and they've definitely improved the bottom end, and overall clarity. Here's what they look like installed, for comparison to the OP's. Can't see any issue with string spacing along the neck anywhere.

Yes - good looking thing, isn't it. Alder body, Wilkinson pick ups, lightweight, small size - all in proportion. Original wiring and pots all work properly. All for £160. Just can't quite find enough room on the fretboard for my hands, dammit.

Put a schaller 3d bridge on it if it the alignment bothers you.

So this is how you sell a bass without using the Basschat Marketplace; cunning.

What colour blue is that? The colour scheme (with the tort scratchplate) and maple neck is fast becoming my favourite on a Precision.

Would it have been any good for metal?

I think it's called Lake Placid Blue.

How are they able to get it so wrong?  It's going back tomorrow.

I've seen worse. Here's my 1977 Music Man Stingray II guitar. Just look at that neck pickup, especially under the high E! It's not a construction or assembly problem: the whole guitar was designed wonky. The bridge is daft, too, just like the original Stingray basses.

It sounds good, though.

Now that wouldn’t be because it resembles a certain football teams colours would it?

Never really thought of that to be honest, just really like that colour scheme!

Some kid in China will probably be having their fingers chopped off once the bass gets returned!

Now now .... sent on a "re-education and training" camp; surely!

Maybe, and then their fingers chopped off.
