nash Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Nah. I don't think I want a natural finish/need to bump up my funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Pepper Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 [quote name='nash' timestamp='1460040267' post='3022000'] I just played an Elite P in Cardiff PMT. Absolutely loved it! [/quote] I've just bought one and I agree, really enjoying it. I actually went into the shop looking for an active dual humbucker (Musicman Classic Sabre) and spent time a/b'ing this, the Sabre, Elite Jazz, Deluxe P and a custom shop. The neck on the Sabre wasn't for me, the Elite Jazz was just too bright (kept cutting the treble to get a tone I liked) but (IMO) the neck and tone (Fender Noiseless N4 pickups) of the Elite P was superb. Personally, I find the combination of the PJ spot on as it gives me the tone I'm after (not too dark but not overly bright) and I'm now a convert with this and my Tony Franklin fretless.

NJE Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I was looking for PJ with a big old P neck for a while and there are limited options from Fender, basically all I found was the old late 90's Hot Rod Precision and now the new Vintage Hot Rod 60's precision. I love the massive 50's Precision neck that you get on the road worn but you wont get a neck that big unless you modify a standard model, get a custom build or look at a Mike Lull.

[/quote] I wasn't very clear sorry, by custom build I meant custom spec from other builders not just the Fender CS. I know Lull make a big neck as 'standard' but I am not sure where Lull fit, are they custom built? I suppose they are custom spec'd by some shops. It all depends on whether you want Fender on the headstock I guess. There are some good cheaper options to get a P neck on a PJ if you look elsewhere. On a budget I would probably go secondhand Lakland Bob Glaub and get a pickup installed. Saying that, the Jake above is a bloody good option too!

Ghost_Bass Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Does it really has to be a fender?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 [quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1467942593' post='3087503'] How about a Fender Am. Std. "PJ" Precision. [/quote] This would be the one if it had a P neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
