I'm liking them

There is a demo on youtube somewhere and I am pretty sure someone has one on here.

Big Block Precision perhaps?

Yep, mine sounds great through the Berg 212

Should it say Trade MRRK on the headstock?

[quote name='Clarky' post='1279434' date='Jun 23 2011, 10:25 AM']Hi mate, have a chat with Marky L who owns my old one or Deep Thought, the other BC owner of a JJB (I think) My recollection is: very high quality hardware, wide but slim (comfy) neck, unfinished maple board (not heavily lacquered, which you may or may not prefer), reasonable weight (c.9 pounds), very punchy (custom wound) P pickup, beautifully put together, and with a gloriously thick gloss black coat of paint Basically like a US Fender but better[/quote] Nice one mate, i will send a couple of messages out. Cheers for the info.

Precision basses just really seem to work for me and the music I play, and I do own a couple, have tried several other brands and styles of bass, but always come back to these. These are a CIJ, a MIM, a Franken and a couple of Squier CV's. All good basses in their own right, I feel. I have tried one of the new American P's and was quite impressed with it, and from reading a lot of posts, if you find a good'un these are very good basses. So in a fit of GAS and self indulgence, I was thinking of getting a top of the range P Bass, but the price of the AM P's are pretty high and not [i]really[/i] that far off of something like a Shuker JJ Sig (who happens to be a big influence), and from the few posts I have read about these, they are a step above the Fenders. I know they are only one pickup, one volume and one tone knob, but thats where I'm at, and thats all I need. So why not have a real pukka one So any comments or advice on the Shuker would be most welcome. Ta

Total legend, big influence.

I love P Basses. Wouldn't buy that tho!!!

That is stunning. Congratulations

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1247223' date='May 27 2011, 03:36 PM']For me, this bass is more iconic than any Jaco or Wooten original bass.[/quote] Totally agree with this.

[quote name='Clarky' post='1243828' date='May 25 2011, 08:13 AM']PS, if interested the price I was quoted for a 5-string in American walnut with an ebony fretted neck was £4,100 (out of my league I'm afraid)[/quote] See, thats dream bass number 2 right there, but at even at a quarter of that price I would be to scared to gig it in some of the pits we play.

Just bought Gary's Roger Waters P Bass from him. As advertised it was in absolutley mint condition. Met up in the usual BassChat meeting place, a motorway service station car park and could of spent ages chatting bass. Great bloke to deal with and a true gent. Buy/sell/trade with total confidence. Cheers Gary, all the best. Steve

Totally agree. A Precision Bass works just right for me.

I think....... quite possibly..... maybe after Saturday I very well could be GAS free. For a little while at least GAS is a cruel Mistress

[quote name='Clarky' post='1233505' date='May 16 2011, 07:40 PM']None more stealth! Great job there mate and the decal must make you grin every time [/quote] Cheers mate.

Finally have managed to put this together from spare parts and sourced parts. Body was a MIM P, neck is a Mighty Mite both from evilbay. Got the decal printed by Rothko and Frost who did a great job. The rest came from my bass bits drawer. Am really pleased how it turned out, but it might be a few months before I have got the bottle to play it live [attachment=80098:P_Bass.jpg] [attachment=80100:1_P_Bass.jpg] [attachment=80110:4_P_Bass.jpg] [attachment=80111:3_P_Bass.jpg]

To me, that is the nicest bass I have seen on here. Great finish to it. Good luck at the hospital Sam.
