Chienmortbb Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Absolute Music in Bournemouth usually have a good selection although a long trek from home for you. . https://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/search.php?search_query=precision+bass§ion=content Just ring ahead to make sure they are on demo. They will get them out of the warehouse if you ask. Edited July 6, 2022 by Chienmortbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTunnicliffe Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hello everyone, Following from the great advice on here IE that there are plenty of great modern Fenders out there but that it can be tiresome buying blind I did have a proper hunt around the country to try some out. My local shops were completely empty handed, the large chains could only pool their P Basses from across the country if I put a deposit on each individual bass so I was eventually left in a situation where I was trying to find a shop in the UK that had a measly 2 or more P's that were in the Player series or above. I eventually spoke to the folks at Andertons in Guildford who coincidentally had the cab I was after in stock second hand (bargain!) so I went to them to try out what they had in stock. I am now the proud owner of an American Original 50s P in two tone sunburst with a maple neck and it's already served me really well through Summer's second half. Thanks for the input, we did it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar roadworn P but it’s not quite as nice as yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
