NICE!

American specials are sex. I've got a Precision and it's the best bass I have ever played. Enjoy!

Thanks man, I was considering swapping the black pg out for a tortoise shell one but it's really grown on me.

I've had my Fender American Special P bass for a couple of days and can't sing it's praises enough. The neck is perfect, the tone copes with a wide variety of styles from blues to funk to hard rock and the build quality is amazing. I have a Dimarzio Will Power Pup I was going to replace the...

After reading this thread end to end I was really hoping for a positive outcome for all involved, but after hoping the next page would bring absolution, my jaw is left hanging in disbelief. The part which really stumped me was when Darrin started manufacturing his own bridges while making...

I wasn't planning on scamming or lying. The second hand & new market for here in Australia is ridiculously over priced. I didnt know what was wrong with the electronics as I didnt have a screw driver to take off the rear cover. As for the neck, well that was all me but he could've let me walk...

Thanks for the lesson in morals and ethics, I'll be sure to pass it on.
