OutToPlayJazz Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Courtesy of Peter [Greeneking] I'm now the proud owner of this lovely AV 62 Reissue Sounds like no other Precision I've heard with clear bell like growling tones and no mush whatsoever.

Clarky Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Yummy You are the Yin to my Yang! (ref: Fender man buys sexy Alembic) Quote
Musicman20 Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Good choice. Every bass player needs a Precision Quote
martthebass Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Does this mean your brief 'fraternisation' with Musicman is over Rich? Might be interested in this one when you come to sell it Rich ;-) Quote

I loved the modern sound of the ceramic magnets in the 5, but the alnico 4 was too much of a mixture for me. So now it's ultra modern graphite or vintage wood. Yin & Yang. I waited a long time to get this one, so I think it'll be staying around for a while. But you never know... Quote

redstriper Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 The precision is simply beautiful and I have heard the AV series are the best value Fenders, although I've never had chance o try one and they rarely come up on the used market. I prefer jazz basses and the AV 62 jazz looks lovely, but £1500 is way out of my comfort zone. How are you liking the road worn jazz and how does it compare to the Squier CV and American Standard models for playability, sound, feel and weight ? I played a Squire CV and a VMJ fretless in the gallerey recently and thought both fantastic, regardless of cost. Quote
Cat Burrito Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Great pics OTPJ. Both look amazing but I must confess that 62 RI AV looks especially smart Quote
lee4 Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 I have to say that the P bass is the dobermans danglers! Top choice sir! Quote

essexbasscat Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 What a lovely pair ! (I seem to remember that having a different meaning when I was younger) T Quote
LeoFender Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) What age and is the Road Worn? Its simply stunning Rich. If you wouldn't mind PM'ing me a rough price i would need to pay to buy one? Thanks Leo Edited April 22, 2010 by LeoFender Quote
JTUK Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 As good a looking P Bass as I've seen on here..... and normally P-basses aren't for me. A nice white and a tort plate just kills everything. I have a Jazz ripe for a refin...it is off-white atm... and that will be the way to go... NO QUESTION... Quote

Thanks Leo[/quote] Hey Leo, it's good to finally get to talk to the inventor of the electric bass The Road Worn is brand new - The full rrp on these is usually around £1100, but do an internet search and you'll find them for around £799 usually.
