Just curious, because I like fenders 

I love a Fender Precision. They are the transit van of the bass world.

Just plug in and you are ready to go without any mucking about with switches and knobs etc. 👍

Maybe...

But no-one in their right mind goes looking at pictures of transit vans.

Close. They're just THE bass of the bass world.

And I ban myself from this thread now, promise ⏭️

How easy are they to park?

I got a P bass about 6 weeks ago.

2 weeks ago I bought another one.

I was looking for a good Duck Dunn sound. Didn't like them at all with rounds - even for rock / metal.

 

Put on some flats and took it to my big band rehearsal...

 

There it was - that great old Stax / Motown sort of tone. The sort of thing I have hated for decades. But there's no doubt for the music I gig now, it is perfect.

 

I'm still disgusted with myself though.

 

(PS - the Greasebucket circuit is shite. Doesn't get as thumpy as a trad tone control set up. So they will be getting modded).

My problem is that I've just bought a 1989 Fender Japan HM Bass V (HM stands for Heavy Metal) - sort of a 5 string super Jazz with 3 Jazz pickups and slightly Strat shaped - so even though I love this Jazz I might be selling it soon as it looks so staid and boring next to my bright green AV basses PJV and the Fender HM bass V (which has been stripped but will be repainted Ferrari red).

Ignore that - It was coming from the USA and the CITES laws are stopping it being posted :(
