Heartbreaker Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Has anyone got or tried one of the new 2010 American Precision Deluxe's. It would be very usefull to have an idea of how they sound, compare & feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Dave Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 They'll sound like a precision and feel like they're made in a factory with six-sigma quality control. Is it possible to be anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle_of_Fifths Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I had the opportunity to buy either a P-Deluxe or a J-Deluxe, and played them both. Not bad in any but one way for both of them - I didn't like the neck treatment on either of them and went for the Jazz Deluxe MiM instead. I cannot say that I heard any quality of sound problems or bad sonics on the MIAs, but they just had that gawd-awful neck on them, even though one was a J and the other a P. I could live with the Deluxe P if I had to, but it would be an uncomfortable marriage at best. [b]Sidebar:[/b] Today it's 29.9º C, and last week we had 4 inches of snow. No wonder I'm ill.

Sandmann Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 here you´ll find a nice little review/ad on the new dlx precision: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4LYDwcBEI8"]New FenderAmerican Deluxe Precision[/url] some very nice sounds, i especially like the slap-tone... I personally own the new deluxe j-bass and cannot say enough good things about it. for me the quality is as good as sadowsky metro (which i own three of). sandmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sounds nice enough but a little too much of a twist on the traditional for my tastes. I do like the big logo though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Something Quite Sabre-esque about that split pickguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maple with maple fretboard mmmmmmmm yummy Edited January 19, 2011 by MuckedUpFunkies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
