New arrival. Fender Precision

[bartelby]

I've been wanting one of these ever since I got hold of Live After Death and saw the photos of Steve with his. After 24, or so, years mine arrived today.

Just need that

[farmer61]

That is nice......!

[bartelby]

It's really nice and so easy to play! Heavy though, 1/4 of a pound heavier than my 35" scale Ibanez 5 string!!
Cue the purchase of another 3.75" soft leather strap...

Erm. No.

[cetera]

That's one in my GAS list...

[chriswilliams666]

If only it had a girly jazz neck! :-(

[Stingray5]

Shiny!

[BigBassBob]

I REALLY like that

Enjoy it mate, play it loud and proud.

[Gust0o]

Wow, now that is nice!

Managed a couple of detail shots before the battery died in my camera:
Headstock front and back

Badass II bridge, and this gives you a decent idea of the finish.
Close up it looks like Lake Placid Blue with a blue metal flake.

For some reason the SH sig. strings on this feel different to the SH sig. strings on my Squier Precision...

Is the badass not filed?

[Musicman20]

Damn cool.

[OutToPlayJazz]

It is filed.

[Hot Tub]

That is gorgeous.

You do of course realise that you're gonna spend the rest of your days keeping that scratchplate shiny!

[Dr.Dave]

Very nice indeed. I like the maple against that body colour and I should have shares in Badass the way I heap praise on them.

Will it buy me a pint of Guiness in the White Horse , Wakefield like the real Steve Harris did??

I realised that earlier today

It looks even better in real life...

I don't think it would buy you a pint, it hasn't got any money after paying for itself...

[tom1946]

What's the best price on these? I was thinking of an investment.... I've seen £879.

I got mine for £849 (plus £10 P&P) from GAK.
Soundslive also have it for £849.
Digital Village are advertising at £849 but 3-12 working days delivery.

I'm not using that Courier!

Sweet, is there a difference in weight to other P's?

I don't have a Fender to compare with, but this one weighs somewhere between 10.5 lbs and 11 lbs.
Maybe someone else with a P can give a comparison.

[AttitudeCastle]

its meant to be a bit heavier with a thick chunky neck and heavier body than standard precisions,

major GAS here

excuse the stupid question, is this the older one, lake placid blue or the new one, which is Royal Blue?
Older one has an SPB-3 the newer ones an SPB-1 just asking!

thanks,
AC

[bartelby]

It's a new one. Royal Blue Metallic with an SPB-1.

[Dandelion]

Stunning bass!!

Invest in some strap locks.
