Just ordered a spankin' new American Vintage 58 in 3TS/maple. Now if I could only find my member # after I turned it in during my big sell off last year

One thing I vow is to NEVER be without a proper Precision for the rest of my days. I have had to endure months of mid-scooped clank in Geddy land. After that, foraging for tone in the heavy, barren maple forest kingdom of the Squier VM Jazz 5....never again! Full report and pics upon arrival!

Halfway done

Though I get distracted by 4 basses, can you blame a man?

Here are my two Precisions. 1976 3-tone sunburst and a 2011 CLassic 50's 2-tone sunburst.

It took me a while to even find a chair let alone find a bass behind it lol.

Here is the Fender Precision '57 Reissue I received as a gift from my wife back in 1999.

It was sold as a white blond (01) model, but as you can see it looks more banana in color than white blond. It's only been out of the case a couple of times in all these years so it's doubtful the elements have 'yellowed' the color. I think GC was selling 'one-off' and my wife didn't know any better. Plays and sounds great though (the few times I have played it).

The pick guard doesn't look as gold as the typical gold anodized aluminum (GAA) pick guard either. On the banan-ish body it looks kind of copper-ish.

I have an 82 made in USA I'm pretty proud of. Sitting beside my 92 black script mexi.

How do I get a number? My current Precision is a 2008 MIA Standard.

That's absolutely stunning, and the colour looks about right to me for white blonde, but it's hard to tell from a photo. Why on earth don't you play it more?

What an amazing wife to buy you a gift like that!

I like it a lot. I had to order it through GC . I was going to get the standard but one of my guitar players suggested this one cause of the pickups. It was perfect out of the box. Intonation was right on. I changed strings and am regretting it. Shoulda put on some dean markleys instead of power slinkys.

Here is mine! A 1992 MIM which I was my very first Fender and the best playing bass I have ever had the chance to play!! Sorry for the crappy pic, new ones will be posted once I get my wife's good camera!
