I’ve been trying to work out what I like the most about this. Blocks and binding? Scratchplate? Gold hardware? I don’t think I really love any particular design choice but all together it just looks killer. Im so jealous I don’t have £260 knocking around to grab one! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floFC Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 They were out of stock at Thomann for a few days, but they seem to have some new stock in. I have ordered a Seafoam Green jazz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odi Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Tomorrow I'm supposed to receive a package from Precision Vintage Blonde. I sold the Gold Edition LPB, it was great, but it was the VB that charmed me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky_lowdown Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 What's the weight of these red and blonde basses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidens97 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I got the blonde one back in February and it’s been my main bass ever since! Sounds incredible and the rolled edges and the fretboard are a game changer. It has taken the place of my fenders, I’m tempted to order the red one as a backup or to keep in an alternate tuning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't feel super light like one of my basses but not as heavy as my main bass which is on the heavy side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are such great basses and so lovely to play, even addictive. I was just about to go to bed and couldn't resist having a noodle, put a big smile on my face.

Cheers to all on here for the heads up! I think it would only be fair that Thomann pays me a commission for pushing some of these sales! I would happily accept a DR P just for company for my VB. Just weighed mine and the P is approx 7.5lbs and the J approx 9.5. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers to all on here for the heads up! One thing I'm so surprised about is the build quality, it's amazing. Out of the box they are so playable that I would be happy to gig it with no adjustment and they sound absolutely amazing. I've only ever had one Squier before which was the Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz which was ok but the build quality was a bit iffy. I actually had to take one back as the neck was warped and the replacement was better but not great but this 40th Anniversary is on par with the US and Jap Fender's I've had or got. They certainly pushed the boat out on these basses and I'm kind of tempted to pick up either one of the blue or black gold editions or the 40th Anniversary Jazz. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Just arrived. 3.8kg (very manageable given the good balance) and a 40mm nut (perfect), very playable straight out of the box. Happy days! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
