NBD: Fender Standard Precision Bass

[BassAdder60]

I was looking for a second PBass to use alongside my Player II 

 

Nearly went Squier but decided to try out these new Standed series 

 

It’s a nice bass and fretwork and neck is lovely to play. 
 

Noticeable difference in tone from the ceramic pickups in as much as it’s brighter and clearer sounding, less warm and vintage and more modern

 

Set up out of the box was decent apart from pickups were not set slanted to match neck profile etc 

 

Slight tweek on truss rod and she was playing sweetly 

 

Wasn’t sure about the Olympic White colour as it’s more cream than white but it quickly grew on me. I did own a polar white and I thought it was closer to that but I would say closer to cream 

 

Tuners are good and work well as does bridge etc 

 

For a £500 bass I think it’s a nice balance of quality, tone and cost.

Nice, and my second-favourite colour combo for a P, closely behind black + black 3-ply guard + maple board. Looks great!
