I tried both Fender and Squier Precisions at the weekend. Great sound, but I just couldn't get along with the neck. Just too chunky, especially after the Ibanez. I'll try the Jazz again, and with flats 'cos I've never used them. Yes - I don't really have the 'need' for another bass, but I could do with a back up, and I just fancied getting another one! I suppose I've come to the conclusion that the Ibanez does really do all the things that I want so I'll probably go for a Squier to keep costs down. All other recommends welcome though!

[quote name='Heket' timestamp='1413050345' post='2574551'] Yup, that sounds good. I did compare the MiM and the American Special Jazzes seeing as they were both there and I much preferred the Special. It felt comfortable and it "fit". Made my SUB Ray4 feel like a right plank. [/quote] haha i played the sub4 ray the other week while getting a service on the jazz(i knooow) i thought it was a lovely bass but the neck was huge, really impressed with its neck laquer though

not really a P guy but i gots a AM special J bass next to me. neck is AWESOME if you like it thin. if you want a baseball bat then its marvellous turn off and goodbye graphite rod IS in the neck and has been since the models conception, i've never had an issue with electronics or anything since 2011(huh never noticed my serial number ends in 000 until now) mines got a couple of tiny knicks and scratches to the finish but if you look after it you'll be wicked. when i got it i tried it next to the HWY1s and sterling ray34s and its fit and finish was waaaay above those two the only thing i'll say which MIGHT have been fixed now is i tried 3 of them and they ALL played VERY different aka not qute as high QC checks as i would hope but the better ones were amazing and the bad ones were like a MIM(but this i think was the first year of their introduction) and it sounds a babe.
