I have a mim p bass,
hate it with a vengance,been playing jazzes since the early
seventies,got this to see if I could get on with it,
as a firm believer that you can only get a rough idea with a
20 minute noodle in a shop,I bought this one,which in its self is a nice thing,
dark red with a rosewood board,plays well,low action ect,just very much not for me
after trying for ages to get on with it,
so as soon as this old giffer can get round to learning how to post pics,
its out off here
so a trade my pbass and cash for another jazz,nice
cheers

you have got possibly one of the worst p basses available
bit like a martian visiting earth and judging its food on the basis of a big mac
do yourself a favour and try say a MIJ/CIJ p bass or a classic series MIM - basically anything other than bog standard MIM's -

Here's a recent carol kaye facebook comment that may help you
GEAR I'VE USED....over the years. Hello Martin, nice to hear from you and thank-you for your nice
message. I've always played elec. bass with a HARD PICK, sort of tear-drop shaped pick on medium-gauge flatwound strings -- I only use the THOMASTIK JAZZ FLATWOUND strings which get that same sound and feel, only BETTER - these are fantastic long-life great-sounding flatwounds, the finest!
And I... -

Running a band is as much a business as running a pub. End of. By all means work with venues to keep them sweet, but remind them that you're a business too and need to make money when you're not gracing their venue etc...

Believe me running a pub is in all ways much tougher than running a band - assuming we are talking non-pro, semi-pro type bands
In todays tough economy I really feel for publicans - it must be so hard -

On the theatre / art centre / ticket venue circuit it's common.
On the pub scene, less so... there's a couple of 'music' pubs up here that politely ask you not to play at the pub over the road for a while either side of playing there. Depending on the circumstances, I think it's a reasonable request.

Think of the Precision as the Porsche 911 of basses. The 911 is THE iconic sports car. yeah, there are loads of "better" faster, better handling, high-techer cars out there. But the 911 is THE enduring sports car. Get one, you can't go wrong and everyone will nod with approval when they hear you have one.
Fender Precision? In bass terms, it's the same thing. Can't go wrong and most everyone will nod with approval at your proper bass.

being the owner of precisions and a 911, i can confirm that your analogy is spot on and well observed -

yes i have a fretless HMT and that pre-amp brings the bass alive as a fretless
also tried it on a fretted HMT and not such a noticeable improvement -
we're going out as a trio on nye for £1125 pp

Darren I am really sorry about your news.
I have acted for self-employed people now for approaching 30 years and it is HARD to be in business and especially in retail.
All good wishes and good luck for the future -
