And this is where the turning wheels led me: So I'm thinking basically a Fender/Wal crossover. Multi-coil pickups and filter preamp, but with P-Bass looks. So now I'm Gassing for a Bass which doesn't exist, Great!

+1, but I do also like the idea of having a black detail on the headstock, tying in with the body. This thread is getting my wheels turning!

Also I seem to recall on one of the documentary films (I forget which one) Steve Harris saying something along the line of the original idea was to have 3 guitarists anyway...

Definitely. I am biased though, see my 78 Precision :-

I'm a Big fan of Black pickguards against cream/off white bodies!

Ummmm - yes you can. You just turn your bass volume down. Most Clip on tuners work by sensing the frequency through vibration.

I use (and love) the Line 6 Helix for my covers band. But I rehearsed the other day for my originals band and I just took my RH750 and two10. Worked lovely (for that band)... Horses for courses as they say! YMMV!

I've used it in some very noisy rooms without any issues.

Awesome, done!

Not true for ALL PJ's. Some, yes, but definitely not all. YMMV!

Correct, and definitely one to look out for if it's really a Precision 'feel' you're after.. I love my PJ's. One is a 2015 Fender American Elite and the other is a Bitsa with a Japanese maple P neck and a squier VM body. Both have 42mm / 1.625in Nuts.

I first had my hands on one of these when a mate bought one on a whim for his home studio. Went round and had a go, told him to never sell it, but if he did, to sell it to me!! Sod went and traded it about 6 months later without offering it to me first! Wanted one ever since. Couldn't let this one slip by, it's in good nick, price was OK and it was 20mins down the road from me. No brainer!

Subscribed, as I noticed this same thing on my Elite Precision. Interested to find out if the replacement PCB assembly fixes / changes it..

So - this happened yesterday, these were the sellers pics but you get the idea! Most folks on here know how good these are and I've wanted one for a while now. Judging by the serial it appears to be a 2013 build, and the fit and finish really are fantastic. Showed up locally on the Facebook marketplace and I was quick! Should put the GAS for a Pino signature to rest (for a while anyway!). I plan to put some TI Flats on it, give it a setup and that's about it really, possibly some flat top knobs but it's great as it is. May consider upgrading the loom to a Kiogon job in the future. Doesn't seem to need it but, you know....

Neat and tidy cable porn! Love it!

Cheers Chaps, looking at it in the pic above, it's all bloody PCB mounted so I think it's best left alone haha, wouldn't think anyone'll touch it with a barge pole!

Ah - found this online just now: Guess I'll be leaving that WELL ALONE!

Hey all, The blend knob on my US Fender Elite seems quite 'urgent', i.e., moving even the slightest bit away from the centre detente pretty much makes it go to either pickup solely. It's more like a switch than a blend knob. Could be a fault I suppose, but I'm thinking about seeing if it can be changed to a Vol/Vol instead. Anyone ever done this? I haven't had the scratchplate off yet but it's got a 18v 3 band switchable active circuit with a passive tone as well. Anyone know how complex the wiring might be, or if it might be pretty straightforward?

For reference, you probably won't get much from Fender UK. When I was looking at the USA Geddy Lee Bass with the wrong neck on it, I was dealing with a guy in the US Consumer relations dept. called Bryce Wells. Email - [email protected]

Cool, FWIW I also like the tort plate on yours! I'd say so, sounds like it's all to spec then apart from the pickguard and thumbrest.
