krispn Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Oh go on then... Meet Frank! He’s a PBird with a Tone Styler in place of a regular tone control. The sound is great and the added versatility of the TS over a regular tone control on a single pick up bass is a very wonderful thing!

cd_david Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I’ve spent the last few years ridding myself of a large collection and distilling my basses down to basses I will gig and not be precious about and the best version of the instrument I can find. If there’s anything that niggles me about a bass it’s now gone. With that said here’s the 2 best Fenders I’ve personally played. 1978 Walnut and Rosewood and a 1973 Black and Maple.

Soledad Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Just found this but love the fact there's a 62 page thread on Precisions. They were my first proper bass and getting the cash together for the first one was a mountain-climb. I still have a relationship with Precisions that I'll never have with the Jazz. With the P when you dig deep it delivers a shovel-full - something the Jazz* just can't do. And I think of the Precision as the working man's bass - got the tool, now go make your living son. Owned 3 over a long time. Don't own one now. Will do, bound to happen * don't get me wrong, the Jazz does some good tricks, just not that single excellent one.

Sibob Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Took a couple of photos of my two Precision’s, both with La Bella flats. 1971 Fender Precision 2019 Lakland 44-64 Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I get from a Fender P is a kind of punch / grunt that a Jazz never gives me. I've wondered about a Lakland for a while. I've heard the Fender P described as a one-trick pony which is not fair. I find if you back off the right hand a little, it also has a really clear but rich lower end with a warm musical top on it, not the high snap of a Jazz, a bit lower and more 'notey'. Sounds into words is tricky eh ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds into words is tricky eh ?! Your wish is my command. *Use decent headphones/speakers* I'll let you try to decide in which order they go. The basses change every 4 bars. Volumes have been normalised as one was a fair bit louder than the other, this is a tonal comparison, not a pickup volume test. Both are strung with La Bella flat wounds, the '71 has 760FL, the 44-64 has 760FS. The 44-64 is very much based on a 1964 spec Fender Precision, so a C width neck with a shallow depth. The '71 is kinda classic 70's, B width neck and really quite a bit deeper. Si Edited March 20, 2019 by Sibob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
