lazzer Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Just taken delivery of this brand new Fender USA Precision in 3 t/s with rosewood........ First impressions are thus, super case & a quality look & feel to the instrument. Nice lowish action right out of the box. Am gigging tonight so will give it a workout & report back if anyone's interested? Cheers. Lazz Quote
Platypus Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Great looking P bass you've got there - enjoy P Quote
BottomEndian Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) Looks like the first job's done: strap lock buttons fitted! Good plan. I've got an 08/09 Precision in exactly that colour scheme (came to me slightly altered with a Badass III and a Jazz pup, and both pups are Nordstrands) and it's a cracking bass. Feels great, and I'm sure it would have been great even without the mods. Enjoy! EDIT: And isn't the case just [b]awesome[/b] for a standard factory HSC? Edited February 6, 2010 by BottomEndian Quote
simon1964 Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 very nice - you can't beat sunburst and tort on a Precision Quote
Musicman20 Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Good choice! I have one of these and after regretting selling my other another coming in! Very nice basses. Quote
lazzer Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 Thanks guys...... Yeah, a set of jim dunlop strap locks fitted at the store......just in case! Hopefully i'm sorted re gas for a good while, having a stingray & a jazz too. Oh, & a peavey 5 stringer should I ever need it (hopefully not!) HMM maybe a mim fretless jazz too?? Quote
Sibob Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 I have an '09 Jazz 5 std. which I love, and I keep likening the case to a Rifle case lol! Great quality! Si Quote

lozbass Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Really lovely - an absolute classic (and I'm a really big fan of the new Fender - SKB?- case) Quote

Great bass Lazzer, very good buy IMHO[/quote] Ha, I know. I knew it would happen. I sold the P to have two Js, but now the 5 string search didn't work, I'm sticking to what I know I get on with. The new P was at such a good price as I'd ordered the Jazz as well that I thought sod it, may as well Quote
lazzer Posted February 7, 2010 Author Posted February 7, 2010 first gig last night with the P...... with my main outfit Bad Dog, playing classic rock covers so I felt the bass was really well suited. Was nice not to have to keep unplugging it inbetween sets as I do with the Ray and it felt nice in my hands. Soundwise, it had a nice thump at the bottom end with a slightly raspy top, I liked it although it was quite different to the ray! Looking forward to getting to know the p better over the next few gigs! Cheers Quote
