Perhaps that is the 60 year old design speaking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time, the Precision was a massive move from Double Bass. I lke the whole vibe and tone of a Double Bass (although Ive never really tried playing) but bringing the bass into a guitar format made it much more versatile, easier to transport, and pretty damn cool. So yes, frets = more precise, therefore Precision. Stick a new set of SS strings on a Precision, whack the tone up full, and its VERY precise-sounding!

Ancient Mariner Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Way Huge name their pedals using double entendres: Swollen Pickle, Pork Loin, Fat Sandwich etc. Yeah, right. Yamaha use lousy names all the time too. AES620, SGS2000 etc. At least they're easy to forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
