Linus27 Posted May 1 Posted May 1 I'm a big Fender fan and have and have had some killer basses over my time. I'm on the lookout for a backup to my Japanese Fender 60's Classic Precision and will probably buy the Harvest Green PJ. Green is my favorite colour and I adore the look of this bass, it is the perfect bass for me aesthetically so thank you Fender for making it. I'm not a fan of active basses though so I'll likely just use it in passive mode and I may even gut it and fit Barts to it. Quote

Maybe a blip, or symptomatic of tariff-geddon. Quote

I could buy a Monty's P and have a semi-extravagant hour out in Cheltenham with Mr Monty himself for that money. Christmas Eve!!! 1 Quote

crazycloud Posted May 6 Posted May 6 (edited) A friend of mine told me today he'd just ordered one of these, and was going to pick it up in the next few days; black P, maple board version. I think I might give it a try when he gets it as he offered and wants to hear it through my old Peavey rig. He's a young guy but has old man tastes, just not this old man's taste.
