  1. I own a usa P bass with the S1 switch and its great, I love it. However many years ago before I owned the usa (my bass at the time was a Squier P bought new in 97) I was in a guitar shop on the look out to buy a new amp.
    The guy in the shop asked what type of bass I played, I just said a precision and he handed me a usa p. Plugged it in for me and I thought Yes here we go. It was terrible, to my hands anyway. I was really disappointed that I'd got my hands on a usa p and it felt rubbish. I asked if I could try something else and tried a usa jazz which was miles better but the neck was too thin for my liking so tried a mexican p which was no where near as good as the jazz but better than the usa p.

    I then saw this red bass, I thought it was a really ugly bass(just my taste-sorry) but thought i'd try it anyway. It was amazing better than all the others but maybe just edged by the jazz. There was no price on it so I thought this one must be really expensive. At the time I had no idea about this brand of guitars so I asked the guy how much it was. He said he didn't know but he'd go and find out. I thought "I'm right, its gonna be pricey. He returned and it turned out it was an Ibanez gsr 200 at £179. Ha I nearly fell off the stool.

    Eventually I guess I got lucky and bought a usa p off ebay without trying it first. I have had a few back up basses but no only have the usa as not been playing bass so much recently. The two best back ups I had were a 51 reissue and a Squier classic vibe 60's p. The fiesta red one if anyone is interested. Tried some jazzes and even tried a Hofner bass. Think i'm gonna get another classic vibe p as back up now i'm playing more bass again.

  2. This used to be mine too. Why does no one want to keep this bass :-)

    Kinda been hoping i'd get the chance to buy it back one day as I miss it but I don't like bridge and pick up covers generally and without them now i'd either have screws or holes :-(

    Have a bump anyway

  3. Hi
    Up for sale is my Classic vibe 60's precision in fiesta red. Great bass, bought on here recently. No knocks, dings etc. Great sounding bass strung with flatwound strings. I gigged with it once.

    My reason for selling is that its never gonna replace my usa precision which i'm just so used to as i've had it for years.

    I bought it for £200 + £15 p & p so just want my money back. I will consider a trade either with a Squier CV 60's jazz or a decent electro acoustic bass.

    I'm sure everyone knows what they look like but i'll put some pics up later

    Thanks

    Neal
