I avoided Precisions like the plague for 20 years because everyone played them and I too thought they were boring looking and a cliche. My hat's been eaten and I love my P. I don't need anything else. Saying that, it's only a matter of time before I cross paths with a Jack Casady. I saw Mani use a couple live with the Stone Roses. He sounded spectacular! Killer.

Burn The Witch - QOTSA (Season's greetings!)

A Hundred Years (waiting for the new album to drop) - The Cure

Dog Faced Boy - Eels

I agree and it's not like the mono version has been replaced. It's nice to have choices.

Red Right Hand - NCATBS

Into The Valley - Skids

It's free on Spotify.

Feather With You - Crow House

I could pick a few but John Paul Jones was the big one.

Reel Around The Fountain - Smiths

Indian Summer-The Doors

🤣🤣🤣 Classic simulpost there!

Girlfriend In A Korma - The Smiths

I believe he means how have you intonated it at the bridge dad. On a fretless bass you'd still set the intonation by the 12th harmonic and the note directly underneath. If the intonation of the whole bass is out then the side marker dots will be off. Real pain if the strings are off with each other too!

Superman - Black Lace

Bloody lovely 😍

Tippa My Tongue - RHCP

Where Is My Mind? - PIXIES

I hear you but a stripped body isn't a big deal. The original bass is still there and if you felt the need, you could have a sweet sunburst refin vintage beauty. Adding something new to a bass (what you're contemplating here, extra pickups, pre amps etc...) can't be undone easily without leaving nasty scars. Devaluing scars they would be to if you're bothered about such things.

Elvis F***ing Christ! - The Cramps

I'm of the opinion that a man's wood is to do with as he pleases (fnarr!) However, there are countless great P basses out there but, to a far lesser extent, there's a finite number of genuine 70s fretless Precisions left in one piece. To me it's a true vintage (and rarer) instrument so with this in mind I feel that with such basses, ownership also comes with 'custodian' responsibilities. To play it, love it and keep it safe until it eventually goes on to it's next adventure. Just my feelings, not saying I'm right because I know I can be a dreamy sentimental old git! 😄
