Squier 40th precision red and gold

[la bam]

Picked one of these up recently. 

 

Yep. Very nice. 

 

Lovely smooth neck, lovely dimensions to it. 

 

Pickups sound lovely. Tone pot has a lot of width in it, plenty of tones. 

 

Tuners work great. 

 

Its lightweight. 

 

Yep. Very nice indeed. 

 

Absolutely no need for any higher priced precision.

I have a cream (yellow) version of these, really nice bass, better than any of the MiM ones I tried, both in tone and playability.

Same experience, love my 40th P.

 

But came across a used EMG Geezer pickup and its a nice improvement. But the stock PU sounds good too!

Good to know.

Gigged this at the weekend in our 80s band. 

 

Great tone, versitile, fitted in the mix lovely, punchy and absolutely no aching or back pain afterwards. 

 

Great basses.

I've been saying pretty much the same thing since the day I bought one...one of the smoothest, easy-to-play Precision necks I've ever played, very responsive tone control...better than quite a few of the current Fenders.

Looks great with the gold anodized pickguard, too.

Absolutely no need to buy any other P bass.
