Lw. Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Great choice - I had a play on one a couple of weeks ago & thoroughly enjoyed it (despite being more of a jazz man), I can't really justify the new price at the moment but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a used one. Really nice basses, I would just change the pick-guard as my thumb nail rubbing on the alu made me feel a bit ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 [quote name='isteen' timestamp='1415608181' post='2601813'] Actually I went for a Fender 50's Classic. I picked out 3 Squiers and 2 Fenders, and sat down with them for an hour. After one hour, [url="http://www.fender.com/en-DK/basses/precision-bass/50s-precision-bass-maple-fingerboard-honey-blonde-gold-anodized-aluminum-pickguard/"]this one[/url] came out a winner [/quote] Great choice! I have also just recently bought the same model (in red: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/247828-nbd-fender-precision-classic-50/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/247828-nbd-fender-precision-classic-50/[/url]) I was very tempted by the cream one you got. VERY tempted. But I'm in a red phase so I went for that instead. But the cream one just oozes class. Yum. Like the above poster, I hate the feeling of the metal pickguard on my fingers... so I removed it immediately and put a mint-white one instead. I have been playing the Precision exclusively since I got it, much to my surprise (I've never been a P-bass guy)... I can't say it's the sound I prefer *always*, I still want the Stingray and the Jazz often, but the Precision does another flavour amazingly well and it's a joy to play... Nice one!
