NBD - Yes, another Precision

[Lozz196]

Have been on the lookout for a while for a Fender US Standard 2013-16 Precision in Olympic White with maple neck, weighing less than 4kg. I’ve found recently that on brightly lit stages I can’t see where I am on a rosewood fretboard. Having a bad back basses under 4kg are my limit and for some reason even though I’ve arthritis in my left thumb playing a big fat neck doesn’t cause me pain. I’d decided to seek one out as Precisions are my fave basses so I’m going to play them until I physically can’t anymore. This one, a 2014 turned up so I bought it. Has a set of 45-100 Chromes on it and they sound & play really nice.

That’s a beauty for sure 👍

Very nice Lozz, and flats already fitted, congrats

Lovely, looks just right.

I've had larger side markers fitted to some of my Precisions, and Luminlay markers added to others for the same reason. 

 

I don't get on with maple boards unhappily.

Nice colour combo, no matter the other brands and types of bass I have I always come back to the P.

What colour did you go for Steve, light in the rosewood top or black in the maple of the neck? This probably where I`ll end up once I have to drop the Precisions.

That's gorgeous.  Can't beat a P.

[Steve Browning]

I went for large white on some and the Luminlays were the larger green ones - all on rosewood fingerboards.

Congratulations. It's a beaut.

I use these, really help with darker lighting

I did consider those, but didn't know how long the 'stick' would last. I do have other basses that I use that would benefit. I guess the oldies could have those, so they can be removed when necessary.

I have the exact same bass, except mine is from 2013. One of the nicest basses I’ve ever had. Hope you enjoy it 👍

Precisions are the perfect bass. Great find. Personally I own 3 of em.

Lovely bass Lozz I have a 2014 Am.Std Precision from new and even though, I don't play it much as I should at 8lb 4oz it's staying. Though I did do a double take when I saw yours exactly the same even down to the Finger rest, that my friend gave me of his '78 Jazz Bass so I have a little piece of Fullerton on my bass.
