I've not tried one of the new Vintera Roadworn Precisions - but the Classic 50's bass, mentioned above is an absolute cracker of a bass. Also, the earlier China-made CV's are superb. I had one of the Classic 50's P's, and I now own an early CV again (having sold one in the past). As others have said - try one of the Vintera RW's if you can... the suggestion of finding a seller with a good returns policy might be the best way forward for you. But having owned several iterations of Precisions over thr years, my old 50's Classic, and my early CV have been as good as any. I swing slightly more to the CV - a decent 2nd hand one is the best bang for buck IMHO. Oh, and I now wish I hadn't sold my MIM Roadworn P.... but there you go! Lol Good luck with your search, and let us know what you decide.

Apologies for only contributing to this thread now. There has been the sad passing of many musicians who I admired, or who inspired me over the years. But Danny Thompson's sad passing has been one of the saddest in recent times. As others have said, the Transatlantic Sessions are great, and his playing and tone are just wonderful. I saw him live just twice (with Pentangle) and I wish I'd seen him more. I also would like to have met him. In interviews, he always seemed such a decent, humble and humorous guy. The world is just that little bit less colourful since he has gone, and I know that a huge range of talented musicians who played with him will be feeling the same. R.I.P Danny 😞

Hello from South Wales, and welcome to BassChat 😀

Usually, I'd agree with @Leonard Smalls thoughts - but as you say with "Another Brick" it just suits the song so well. Another example of this IMHO is "Circus Games" by the Skids. Again, the kids voices suit the subject matter, and I can't imagine it without
