I just bought a MIM Precision and the neck is lovely. Frets dressed easily as well as my US Standard strat. The only issue was the four outer corners of the nut were a bit sharp. Didn't take much to sort that out.
I admit to being a Fender fan but I'm definitely not a Fender fan-boy. The prices for some of the stuff they are putting out are a bit ridiculous, but I think it mostly comes down to perception as to whether you [i]think [/i]you are getting something of value. My bass was on sale and had nearly £200 off the current retail. I could have bought another make for half the money and probably gotten at least as good a bass, but I'm happy with what I got. And the extra money will long be forgotten when the satisfaction of having a Fender Precision still remains (for me at least). As always, you pays your money............
