Franticsmurf Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Spotted online on the Bax website, a 'B' stock Precision for £490. I expected scratches in addition to the damaged packaging that was listed on the site but I have yet to spot any. My first Precision style guitar and so far (about 90 minutes in) happy with sound, feel, neck and weight. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Nice one! I think a tort pick guard would really improve the low mids and help it sit in the mix just right. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at it this morning thinking 'a different pick guard, perhaps?' - Now I can justify it to get the sound just right. 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo85 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I actually love a simple white pickguard on a sunburst. I think it is beautiful as is 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAdder60 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I own two PBass player series both superb instruments I did upgrade the bridges on both though but that’s a simple low cost job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop it! 😃 If this carries on, I'll have a rainbow catalogue of pick guards. 'Monday, it must be Infra Red checker pattern pickguard day'. I have a tort PG on order, and a paisley one too, both from Amazon. Now I have to order a black one. 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayn Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Good score and another +1 for a tort SP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Yeah the player series is great for the money! But definitely wants a tort guard, I have never known why ANY manufacturer makes sunburst basses with white pickguards. Heresy! Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I played (no pun intended) one of these yesterday, albeit with a maple neck and board, and was mightily impressed. If I was in the market for a P (I’m not, I’m not, I’m not! 😬) I wouldn’t hesitate to get one of these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
