Fender Precision bass thread

[RentaBass]

totally forgot about the 51 re-issue (jap) which i really like... 8)

Amen, bro!

Of all the latter day P Basses that I've tried, this is the one that really got my attention!

Tried the MIJ one at the Swee Lee warehouse some years back.....really nice, transparent tone. It was ballsey, yet had a decent amount of high end grit to it.

Nice, vintage-style tone, with enough presence to cut through, while still maintaining the transparency and meatiness of a P Bass. Stellar!

Ooh! Is that a Badass II I spy!? :twisted:

Nice one, dude! I'll bet it's got some killer rock sounds!

 

[3notesAbar]

Yeah mr.issac, its a badass 2. Quite the punch meister, sits nicely in a rock mix, sticks out like a meanie third-finger mids-wise, a tad brighter than most P's (i think). Looking foward to your review sometime.

Sounds wicked.

Eh, can you pleasepleaseplease do a sample recording (pick/no pick) on the special in passive (or flat) mode, tone knob wide open and the neck pickup only? I'm trying to figure out if getting the Badass II and sticking it on my P would make a difference or not.

I want my 2TS P-Bass! UGH! Hahaha... You all giving me GAS!

 

[3notesAbar]

Ok Superkicky, as promised here are the sound files. But:

1) I dont have a pick so i used my worn out nail
2) I think my soundcard makes the bass sound less bright


Finger sample (P pickup only, tone full on):

'Pick' sample (P pickup only, tone full on):

Something else (both pickups, tone full on):

I'm not sure how it would sound in person, but the soundclips sound good, bro!

Sounds like you got yourself a keeper! The P Pickup sounds good, with good transparency and just enough gonads to ensure that you can be heard in the mix.

The slap sound is wicked, man......it's got that nice, compressed tone of a Jazz Bass with both pickups on, but with more grind and balls to it.

Good stuff! :twisted:

 

[3notesAbar]

Thanks dude. Its a keeper alright, but i'd still like you to review the bass sometime. Cheers!
