Even the Indonesian and Chinese ones are really good for the money and I really like the vintage modified series, it was an Indonesian made VM P that turned me to precisions
I was of the “I’ll totally freak in front of an audience” persuasion but once I ignored that and started playing I actually quite enjoyed it. (Could hardly see through the lights anyway) My buddy was happy to have someone else playing to support his weedy acoustic guitar and I was thinking “all those people are clapping and dancing, and I’m making that happen”. And a cute redhead told me I sounded “ducking awesome”. We played Folsom prison blues and jailhouse rock
P bass plus zoom pedal on ampeg svt simulator == instant confidence
So .... many .... knobs ... how do you cope ?
it’s basses with so many control that made Leo fender invent the precision bass.
