neilb Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Ive just got my MIM 2009 Precision in Arctic White and swapped out the white plate for a black until my tort one arrives To keep my Classic 70s Jazz company. Both to be played through my Trace behemoth (shameless excuse to post another pic of my stack!!!)) Fender are really getting their act together, even with the Mex stuff. The new P has a really light smooth neck and the finish is really nice. Light too!! N Edited February 8, 2009 by neilb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Looks awesome, why would you put a tort PG on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray5 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Must admit, I love the all-black Jazz too. But I can see the tort on it as well. I'd probably swap them every 6 months or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oooh nice, first maple necked MIM i've seen, and it does look classy. I don't know why they didn't offer it sooner. Say no to tort kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouMa Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Do you have an audere in the jazz? Hows that working out, Does it give loads of power.Im thinking about sticking a pre amp in a jap jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The black looks great but IMHO a tort guard will look even better.

Great contrast to the passive thud of the P. Edited February 9, 2009 by neilb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tort guard on the P Bass you sold me looks ace Clarky, I see what you meant about the Fender ones looking cheap too. I had been planning on swapping the tort for a black gurad but I think I'm keeping it 'as is' for the minute.

lonestar Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 That precision looks great Neil. Either black or tort would do it for me. What's it sound like then? I'm getting gas attacks for a P to go with my Jazz! All academic at the moment as we're skint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 I got the bass primarily as a backup. I used it at rehearsal last night and it sounded great, huge fat P tone. One thing I cant believe is the weight, its so light. Ive got some 70s reissue FENDER stamped tuners so will put them on, the standard tuners are a bit naff. Recommended. Tort plate though, Ive decided!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
