IanA Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Popped into Bassbros yesterday on the hunt for a nice 4 string Precision and this was just begging to come home with me. It appears to be a bit of a case queen with barely a mark on it anywhere and even the case is as new! It was a bit of a toss up between this and a Yamaha BBP34 but this won in the end. I have been playing mainly 5 strings for the last few years and the feeling of getting back on a 4 is just amazing! It has taken a really low setup and surprisingly the stock pickup is really nice. It might still get a Nordstrand or a Fralin at some point but let’s wait and see. 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Great bass! I have two of that series, one in Mercury and the other is Sunburst. The necks are really excellent. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joel406 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Ahhhh... The American Pro II My favorite. I only play 5 strings. But I have 4 of these. A Jazz in 3 tobacco sunburst. A Precision, also a burst. A precision in Dark Knight. I replaced the maple neck with a proper ebony. And the neck from that went to a custom build that has become my #1. I also have 2 American Pro Jazz. One a burst the other natural. Needless to say I'm a Fender guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Precision that is stock. Original everything (strings being the exception). The pickup just sounds amazing. My Dark Knight had a Quarter Pounder installed and a SD Apollo installed in the bridge position. It's a one of a kind now. Unique. But give it a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Love that - Personally I'd pop either a BWB or Gold anodized pickguard on it, but that's just my own personal preference for a Black / Maple P Bass, enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatschmacher Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Yep, these are great, even stock. I have a white/rosewood and a Miami blue. I’m honestly tempted to get another couple to cover all the string type/neck wood combinations. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
