Lozz196 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) So the final piece of the collection arrived today, Fender Deluxe Precision, P/J configuration, active/passive. Had wanted a P/J in my fave black/black/maple but when I saw this one in pretty much my equal fave of white/black/rosewood it just had to be. Plays and sounds like a dream - am leaving it on passive as it just sounds so good like that. Edited April 21, 2020 by Lozz196 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I'd be tempted to leave it on passive myself. Lovely looking bass... and I love PJs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lksmks792 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Is there such a thing as a 'final piece of the collection'? 😯 Great looking bass! Congratulations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassix Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Beauty! I was considering this myself, glad you got there before me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Congrats Lozz - she's an absolute beaut. Can someone please tell Fender to make a 5 string version of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Nice one Lozz. Been thinking about getting one of these for a while now, but was wondering how heavy they are? Also have they always had the passive / active option, am guessing yours is fairly recent model? Cheers, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Pete. It’s very light Pete, I’d say about 8.5lbs. This one is a 2015, not sure but I think Fender decided on active/passive switch in 2012 when they had a re-jig on their ranges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 8.5 lbs is probably just within my limit! I had one of these a while ago, black with a maple neck job, and it was way heavier than that which was a shame as otherwise was a great bass. Didn't have the passive option though, so probably pre 2012. IIRC the very first ones they introduced were passive only, sunburst with a gold guard too I think. Incidentally, I always thought these were MIM, yet your shot of the headstock says 'Made in USA' under the Fender logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Lozz has here is an American Deluxe Precision, this was the top of the range series before becoming the American Elite during 2015 and now the American Ultra series..

Duarte Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Aw geez, it's a stunner. I didn't realise they made basses with this configuration of electronics and 70's logo. Plus it's the punk colour scheme. Edited April 29, 2020 by Duarte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a 2017 American Elite Precision (PJ) in a trade a couple of months back and it really is superb. If these Deluxe models are anywhere near as good they'll be cracking basses.
