Deedee Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well I had a rehearsal last night with the black and maple American Std Precision I collected on Sunday from Pestie. What can I say............ An awesome bass, full, thick and powerful tone which sounds amazing through my GB Streamliner. The bass has an extremely low action but with absolutely no buzzes, it plays like a dream. Does exactly what I wanted it to, namely plug and play with instant classic tone. Very happy boy 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Love the black and maple, wish I hadn't sold my 74 in that finish. Glad you are enjoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Black/black/maple, yeah! Just got myself a 2008 MIM Std P in this colour scheme as backup to my `78. The MIM is a great bass, I`ve now had a few of the MIMs and the 2008 onwards are a real step up in quality. I knwo we all say it, but this one ain`t going nowhere.

bassbiscuits Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Ahhh.... P basses are the benchmark of great basses in my mind. I've recently got the jazz bass bug, but i've got a couple of USA P basses from over the years which are still my main squeezes. They just sound, feel and look so right. Ironically, my P Bass sound by itself isn't anything astonishing, but turned up loud and slotting in with a band, its a really full, fat, commanding bass tone which is perfect for me. If you can't do it on a P bass, you're not doing it right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did this used to be yours? If it did I'm just trying to find out what strings are on it as they suit it so well. I'd hate to change anything about it when it comes to string change time :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
