[quote name='Beedster' post='68759' date='Oct 2 2007, 06:23 PM']If you don't like Precision sounds and PUP positions, don't buy one, even a Deluxe. It's still a Precision.
Given that there are a thoudand or more models of basses out there to choose from, it seems foolish to consider a slightly different version of a bass you know that you don't like. Start with a model you DO like and get the Deluxe version of that.

PS I had a USA Precision Deluxe for about a week and hated it. Small body, dodgy pre-amp and poor natural tone. I might simply have had a bad-un, but either way it wasn't a patch on any of my non-deluxe Precisions[/quote]
Point taken. I just get excited with US prices and a need to fritter away the kids inheritance!!!!
