Precisions

My latest additions….

 

First up a beautiful Roger Waters sig.  The B/W/B plate was already fitted to the bass (I have the original single ply black one too) but it’s now also sporting a Gotoh 201 bridge, chrome flat topped knobs, a Kiogon loom and my favoured Custom Shop ‘62 pickup. It sounds superb and plays beautifully.  The big, chunky necks on these really do suit me.

 

Next, as I had a Status P neck loitering in the corner of my man cave, I snapped up this first series Squier Classic Vibe body in Sonic Blue (the holes for the bridge have been redrilled to take a std BBOT). Again it sounds great and plays really well straight off the bat with no neck adjustment, shims etc required.  Ordinarily I would’ve put a black plate on it by now, but I think it looks great as it is.  I’m loving the colour contrast between the neck and the body.

 

All in all, very pleased. 😁

None more black.


I’ll admit that it was in the back of my mind when I bought the RW but honestly, that thick C maple neck feels and plays so well that I don’t want to change a thing.

If it ain’t broke…

 

Mock it up in a photo editing suite to sate your (and our) curiosity maybe.

My Fender Masterbuilt 57 Precision Bass in closet classic LPB
 

One piece quarter-sawn AAA Birdseye maple neck (7.25-12 compound radius)

 

Josefina Campos matched P/J set pickups. Bridge pickup is in 60s position

 

Custom shop RSD bridge

 

The best playing and sounding bass I’ve ever played!

Ooh that compound radius spec sounds like it’d be wonderful 🥰

Yes it’s really nice, quite similar to recent ‘Elite’ fender range but with more vintage feel towards the nut.  It took me about 2 years to find the right combination of strings, relief, and string height to balance the setup at both ends of the neck though! 
 

The whole vibe is a nice of mix of 50s chunkiness, 60s width, and modern ‘soloing’ radius. I love it

That looks like an awesome beast!  I’d be tempted to see what cream strat knobs look like on it - the pu covers and bridge give. Different vibe to a P visually.
