angelboy Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 What do you guys think to these basses? I don't have a frame of reference with Presisions at all but they always put me off with the pickup sounds and positions. At least with the Deluxes they have a bridge pickup. Used to Jazz Deluxes see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Well as I have a 40th Anni Custom shop model (which is essentially a nicer version of the std Am. Deluxe with whistles and bells) I can say that its a lovely guitar. Sounds are bit 'inya face' with the Lace sensors and pre amp (especially thru a valve amp) but it growls like a Lioness with PMS and will pick up all the high end stuff if you want it. Form a P-bass point of view it has a truly wonderful neck which is why I still have it. However.... I'm pretty sure with a P- Am Deluxe and a Pup change you could kick its £1300 ass out of any gig, with a big grin on yer face..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that there are a thoudand or more models of basses out there to choose from, it seems foolish to consider a slightly different version of a bass you know that you don't like. Start with a model you DO like and get the Deluxe version of that. Chris PS I had a USA Precision Deluxe for about a week and hated it. Small body, dodgy pre-amp and poor natural tone. I might simply have had a bad-un, but either way it wasn't a patch on any of my non-deluxe Precisions Edited October 2, 2007 by Beedster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E_MaN Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Yeah, pretty simple, stay with what you know, or more importantly with what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
