| | | | NBD Fender American Special p-bass
I decided to get the american special Precision bass while it was on sale at GC. Seems like a great deal for this bass, leaps above performance from the mim stuff, not leaps above in price. Really digging this thing so far. 
Should fill a niche i dont have with my other basses, and it looks good sitting next to them  |

The first scratch/dent is always tough, but every one after that is added mojo.

|  | Registered User | | | | Very light. Play awsome! At least the one I messed around with at GC in Syracuse NY. Trying to pry it from one of the associates paws was not an easy task. He kept telling me that if it was still there in a few days, he was buying it. 
I wonder if they will be available until the end of Jan. at this price? I may have to get myself a birthday present......

| | Saxobassist | | Join Date: May 2011 Location: Cincinnati, Ohio | | | I played one, and will again this weekend if GC doesn't sell it, but how durable does the finish seem? It reminds me of my first bass (stripped basswood body), so I'm squeamish about the soft feeling finish. Does it feel as if it'd ding easily? or is it fairly scratch resistant?
