chris_b Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Yet another use for a Precision. These basses are more than a one-trick pony. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JottoSW1 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 A really heavy Precision then. Peavey T35/40 an option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I reckon if @BigRedX was burgling a house and saw a Precision (even just on a stand) he'd put everything back and leave 😂 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best use he ever got from it... Yes, that bit from the Swindle film was evidence of it's efficiency. JJ Burnel had more respect for his instrument (& ability X 100). He had recourse to considerable martial arts skills instead. Edited May 19, 2020 by JottoSW1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 At last the joke becomes reality: Defendant: “He attacked me with his guitar” Judge: “Hmm, first time offender?” Defendant: “ Yes sir, a Precision I believe” 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drTStingray Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) As my mum used to say, you'll have someone's eye out with that 😧 as one or two singer/band leaders have almost found out - but fabulous for fending off burglers!!! 😂 NB no headstock chips - very unusual for a Bongo bass. Like a Precision instrument compared with that anti-diluvian instrument of the same name, which in weapon terms, is on a par with a blunderbuss in terms of finesse - or a 2003 BMW compared to a 1957 Ford Prefect. The Bongo is also good for a clout round the chops, particularly as it weighs about 10 lbs - the top edges are rather too well curved but the bottom ones most certainly aren't 😏 Only trouble is it's taken me about 10 mins to extract it from my bass store to photograph so any anti burglar activity would have to be given to my 10 lb ash bodied Stingray 5, which is always to hand!! 👍 Edited May 19, 2020 by drTStingray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
