dave74200 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Posted May 24, 2019 Not sure exactly mate but it's not too heavy. I can weigh it if you want. 1

molan Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 I never really worked out what made this model different from a regular Mexican 70’s P? Different decal, signature on back of headstock and 1-2-3-4 neckplate but nothing ‘sonically’ changed?

But, in the meantime, thanks for your constructive opinions.

So does that mean it is different from a standard Mexican 70’s P? I don’t have one of those so wouldn’t be able to compare.

I know there is a standard 70s mim jazz, and limited edition 70s p, but where is this standard mim 70s p you speak of? 1

Otherwise they are pretty much MIM Pups and hardware. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PBassDeeDee--fender-dee-dee-ramone-precision-bass-olympic-white

Came out a couple of years before the Dee Dee (which is why I wondered if the signature model was based on the regular one). Olympic white, black guard, maple board, C profile neck, standard MIM pickups etc. Board had black blocks though which always put me off - remedied on the Dee Dee

dave74200 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Posted June 2, 2019 Have you played one or heard one boys? I’ve played and heard MIM standard basses and this is much better in every department. I suppose I’m going to say that, but anyone is welcome to come and put it to the test at my home. Can’t say fairer than that. 1
Mickeyboro Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had the dosh. GLWTS! 1

Can’t say fairer than that. Agree Dave, like all of the MIM Sig basses (Duff, Nate etc) these Dee Dee Precisions are a real step up, a couple of differences in features from the US Precisions but no difference in build quality and playability from their more expensive cousins. Real quality basses these. 1 1
Dov65 Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 👆 what he said up there. The Dee Dee's a cracking bass..foolishly sold mine a while ago..never mind..glwts bud 1
dave74200 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Posted June 2, 2019 Will now accept £695 for a quick sale, as a bass I’m after has come up for that price. 1
