Hated the Vista's neck... very "square" and uncomfortable Both the MIJ and PJ win hands down in terms of playability. I remember my old 70's Musicmaster had a lovely neck too.

I have the same bass, I'm convinced the neck size contributes to its authoritative tone. For the first few weeks I hated the neck dimensions, now I appreciate it. I've been recording a lot during lockdown, it's my only bass that I can record direct without bothering with external EQ. Sounds wonderful and sits in a mix. Strung with Rotosound flats.

Fender Highway one Precision versus Classic 50s
Tim Chapple replied to Helderius's topic in Bass Guitars
I had one of the first Highway One basses, back when they had a standard bridge, skinny neck, easy player, but a rather generic pbass sound. I almost ditched the Classic 50's because of the wide neck, I got it used just before lockdown..... since then I've found myself picking it up more and more - it has great character to the sound, and to my ears the wider maple neck adds to the tone. I still feel a little clumsy on it, but am now sticking with it. Here's a recording I did with it using a Zoom R8 recorder.... it has Roto flats on it now, which seem to suit the wider neck. -
