It's very good.
As it happens the PJ-Ray now has flats on it so I tend to use the P pickup alone for my Big Band gig.
The Blade has a good sound and is quite bright. In hindsight it might have been better to go for the Warm version instead, but as I've got 2 tone controls on the bass I can knock it back a bit that way.
I'd happily have them in other basses.
The bass now has Hipshot Ultralites on it and it now weighs only just over 7.5lb
And TI Flats. I tried rounds but on a Precision it's not what I'm looking for. The flats sounds perfect.
Not to mention that if an insurance payout was needed a case and a box is often demanded by the courier.
Not that this was sent with any insurance - Royal Mail 48 service. £100 cover loss and damage only!
Still - I've had a play on my lunch break and it sounds good and seems well set up. I think the strings are 45-105 which are a bit heavy for me as I use 40s so I've ordered some.
The bass is immaculate - hardly looks played at all.
It seems to be ok - It's actually in tune!
And a smidge under 8lb!
I'm guessing about I'll save another third of a pound when I get some Hipshots on it too.
The home built ones - can you divulge where you got the bits and how you managed to get them light enough?
I've never built a bass before, I quite fancy that.
It's stuff like the vid that really makes me doubt my "Precisions are crap" view.
To the point that I bought one a little while ago, and yesterday bought another one.
I am so weak.
But - need 1 for flats and 1 for rounds, surely?
