I have a thing for American/USA Fender basses.
I started recent arsenal with a '96 MIM jazz bass and a newer jag bass. Put hi-Mass bridges on both straightaway. tone is solid. Build quality is good/ok.
But picked up a used '90's pbass fretless and was amazed by quality of the instrument, from the tuners, through body stringing and pickup clarity and tone. So I was like ok USA is better..
So I recently p/ex a warwick rockbass for a USA jbass fretless from Bass Gallery ( turned out to be a '99 model) AGAIN sounds sublime..
So to give the fretless p bass a partner, I picked up a lovely USA 2009 American P bass from Camden Guitars.
However, It does seem incredibly light compared to the other USA basses I have and feels a bit flat compared to other..
Going to take it to Bass Gallery for a service and get it strung with flats- as it does have a slight electrical buzz and seems a bit flat overall.
Is this GAS subsiding? Is it me or in the week after getting something new you usually start finding little faults or niggles?
My question is do I sell the Mexicans now?
What do people think of the Elite USA series?
How do people feel about 5 string American Pro II P basses?
Thanks for any input
