Anyone know anything about these P bass's with 2 pickups?

Are they any good?

Thanks.

Is that the American Deluxe P? There's a thread somewhere with the new ones, that don't have the fat humbucker at the bridge, but I always liked the look of these.

Yup, USA deluxe, I'm sooo tempted....

That looks very much like your lounge carpet Tom... are you sure you haven't been tempted already

I've not played one of these (P's aren't really my bag), but they have a great reputation for biiiiiiig tone. I do know a guy that uses one and highly rates it.

Used it yesterday for my first rehearsal with a new band. It sounded hugely impressive.

Man that looks amazing, can I ask how long you've had it? Did it cost a lot?

Can't remember exactly when I got it, sometime in the nineties.

Got it from the Bass Centre in Wapping.

I never wanted a Fender at the time. I had actually lusted after an Allembic for years and finally treated myself to one. Got it home and although I tried, I just couldn't take to it. Got myself in a right old state about it and about a month later travelled back up to Wapping.The Bass Centre were brilliant. They let me exchange it. I tried a whole load of different basses that I liked at that time, (all fancy wood and electronics). As a bit of an after thought I picked up the Fender and quickly realised how good it was. That was it. At the time the last thing I expected to be going home with was a Fender.
It's a joy to play and one of those basses that I just can't walk past without stopping for a play or just a look.

Can't recall the price, maybe about £1,200. I have the receipt somewhere, if I can find it I'll let you know the year and price.




All the best, Gary

... and here's mine in action:

Ah, the Fantastic American Deluxe Precision...

And here's mine.
Its a 96/7 Got it for a song. My First American Fender I do believe.
I use it with most of the bands I play with.
Monster of a bass. It's like a Swiss Army Bass-it does it all!
Couldn't be happier!
