Pickup-wise, it's a pretty versatile arrangement. But I believe it has a Jazz neck. Not for me.

Cheers David. Have you played one ?

Paul.

I did buy one and played it for a a couple of weeks. But in my case the J neck felt so foreign to me, I took the Special back to Guitar Center and bought a P Bass.

I have played a p bass special for the last ten
years, and love it. It is weird that I have had so
many compliments on my sound with this bass, yet I
play a p or a j, I get negative comments.

I usually will have the p pickup full and the j
pickup off, unless I need that extra punch to cut
through.

The weirdest thing that I have experienced is
being so used to playing this bass, that I had to
borrow a precision, and the neck just felt so
foreign to me. Like I had to learn to play all
over again in the lower registers.

Lesa played one for quite awhile. She may chime in
on this one.

About 2 years ago I missed out on a 1981 Fender P bass special that was selling at my local pawn shop, sunburst finish, S1 switching, enclosed tuners, mint condition, I had her on lay by but changed my mind, wish I had'nt now...

Paul.

Ello Ello Ello,

Can you not just do some sort of bust on a music shop and take basses away for evidence ???

It's just a thought.....

Leroy

You behave !!!! Stop putting naughty thoughts in my ed lol.

Paul.

PRECISION BASS = 1 PICK UP, 1 VOLUME, 1 TONE....

This is a real PRECISION BASS, anything else in my book is NOT.

IMHO, the Precision Deluxe in nothing but a modified Jazz Bass........

again.. PBass= 1PUP, 1 Vol, and 1 Tone....that is it and that's all,,, and, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is J_F take on what a P Bass should be......just like the picture

what's that big hairy thing ???

Leroy

Hahahahahah.. Leroy that is my very old sick dog... she is 15 years old and that is her fav spot.

J_F

No wonder shes sick, you keep putting bass guitars on her lol. Hope shes OK J_F.

Paul.

LOL ya, she is still kikking and every time I go to the Vet for pills refill, they are amazed. Last spring the Vet said that by the end of the summer she will be gone, but as of yet no indications,,,,she eats well does all her things outside and does not appear to be in pain so she might pass her end of summer time.

J_F

Come on SJ,

Show her face..... I'm a pooch lover.

Leroy

There you go Leroy the 3 dogs we have, Ladie in the middle, she is the one.

Leroy

Paul.

Ya, there all spoiled... The one on the right thinks he is the boss and he makes it hard for the old one in the middle....but he is very intelligent and thinking of emrolling him in agility classes...

A precision is a precision not more ont less.

Should I ask about the bridge mute? The finger rest instead of the thumb rest? Maple or rosewood? ;)

Seriously though, I think you have to include the neck spec's.

Well ok Bud...

LOL

cheers.....
J_F

There ARE levels of 'p-Bass purist'.

Though I have far too many 5ers to be classed as one ;)

i just like fender period !!!

I think that if I got into 4ers I could REALLY get into a Fender P. But I've yet to play a 5 I really liked. Neck? String spacing? I don't know, but they just don't click for me.

But I prefer maple neck.


Cheers.....

J_F

Jean
Nice looing P. I would want to show it off too

Thanks....

cheers....

J_F

Wait, how can a Prescision Delux be a modified Jazz when its a Prescision body ? I realise it has a Jazz neck but the neck shape is not as obvious as the body shape. Maybe it needs a new name altogether, a Jazzision ? lol

Paul.

LOL... Jazzision is a good.


cheers....
