Lozz196 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Following @FinnDaves new pair of sunburst beauties, I received this today, a Fender 2016 US Standard. Shock horror, it’s not black as you can see but the classic Precision imo in sunburst/tort/rosewood. Plays and sounds fantastic, largely thanks to the Custom Shop 62 pickups. Thanks to Mark at Classic & Cool Guitars for a nice & easy transaction. 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteb Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 The US Standards with the CS pickups (2011? - 2016) are definitely my favourite series of latter day Fenders. Great bass with classic looks... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Oh great, now I want to put tort back on my sunburst P! That looks lovely. Didn't I see you're off to sunny Torquay to pick up a black/black/maple P though. P basses a plenty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, nabbed a 2014 black/maple, just got to exercise some patience (something I find very difficult) and wait a couple of weeks til I’m on leave to drive down and pick it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Mark at Classic & Cool Guitars for a nice & easy transaction. That's very similar to mine, and around the same age. I absolutely love it and stopped looking at other P basses.

Rather bizarrely I’ve put a set of Rotosound flats that I had hanging around on it, want to check out how they work with my classic rock band. Though I suspect that it will ultimately be getting a new set of S/S Elixirs (already purchased). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found when I tried flats I just didn’t like the smooth string sensation from my plucking / picking hand point I guess years of RW and that string feedback is hard to brake Enjoy the bass either way as I’m sure it’s lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 I’m sure it’ll end up with rounds but I just felt the need to play the classic rock on a Precision with flats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got home from a rehearsal where I use the new Player Precision I got last week and have re-strung with flats - sounded great and the rest of the band thought so as well. Three out of my current four basses have flats on them and I suspect the fourth will have them soon as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPJ Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I put flats on my P Bass the other week. I loved the sound but found it didn't cut through enough in the band. Realised it was a good excuse to get another P so I can have one with flats and one with round!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly why I bought a Player Precision last week - but within a couple of days of it arriving, it had flats on as well! I'm not so sure anymore that the bass needs to 'cut through' so much as just sit in the mix - stop playing mid song (preferably not at a gig) and hear how much is missing even if the bass wasn't prominent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
