  1. One cannot mess with simplicity…. 🤔
  2. Good advice, esp re drummists 👍
  3. Apart from SVT-CL of course 😀
  4. The only option 👍
  5. I used to own one, it was nice, but the PF-50 and fliptop cab get close for around 10% of the price 👍
  6. Three actually
  7. I didn't
  8. I think I'm starting to agree with, um, me
  9. As per the Enfield thread, I've put a lovely MIJ 62RI fretted neck on it and it just works, and I'm about to install a J-Retro and a Badass II. I think I prefer the fretted over fretless. So, in theory I keep the Enfield as my fretted and the Precision as my fretless and all is good with the world 👍 Giving it some serious thought......
  10. Um, like this Luke Just started obvs 👍
  11. Some great stuff in this thread guys, many thanks for the food for thought 🤔
  12. I'm the same, inverse law for me, fewer gigs = bigger rigs. Mesa Carbine M6 weighs marginally more than my car but sounds glorious even if I could get the same volume from a Class D and Barefaced, I still prefer to use the biggun. Would be a PITA if I were gigging every week though
  13. I suspect he's a good example of the role of DNA in the whole thing 👍
  14. No seriously, great post, just how I feel about my band 😀
  15. Thought I'd start this thread to examine this stuff in a little more detail
  16. Photos required or it never happened
  17. Flea that is, as far as i'm aware Jonny Marr didn't play Flea Basses live or in the studio
  18. Likewise the Modulus Flea, which he played pretty religiously for a decent length of time, at least on stage
  19. Anyone else notice this? Muct be some form of cognitive dissonance or similar. I have a 2000 maple fretless Precision, a real beauty but to be honest, rarely played and only gigged once. I also have an Enfield Fusion fretless, not a real beauty to my eye, but a great bass. I didn't get on with the Enfield at first, so I listed it for sale about two months back and now play it almost every day. So I decided to withdraw it and list the Precision, and today can't put the bloody Precision down, while I knew I liked it, it now feels like the most amazing bass I've ever owned. OK, the solution is obvious (i can hear you screaming it), keep them both. So, what would you do good people of Basschat?
  20. I agree, it's about as simple a bass as can be conceived, and it's a beautiful simplicity 👍 Fretting it would of course reduce the element of simplicity
  21. They are very very well made basses, the necks are in my opinion much better than those on the original 70's US models on which the instrument is based (I've owned a few of them also). This particular instrument is also extremely resonant, which again in my experience, was rarely the case with the originals
  22. Agreed! It wasn't until I found myself owning a really blocky late 70's Precision that I started to appreciate the differences, and that over and above gaps in neck pockets and misaligned PUPs, there were other things that could go wrong at the Fender factory!
  23. Cue spatula cartoon
  24. That's how the kids do stuff these days guys
