    Fender Am. Prof. II Precision vs Player Precision

    Personally I think it comes down to the neck profile. Get the one you find most comfortable and upgrade whatever you find necessary. If you don't...

    How to eliminate the need to do slight tuning adjustments during concerts?

    How come Yamaha has so few and such lame bass demo videos?

    I don't think Yamaha's marketing videos are "lame". They're just a company that doesn't go for the hyped up, over the top marketing we often see...

    Fender Custom Shop vs my holy trinity

    Short-scale Pyramid Flats users: which set do you use?

    Thoughts on Roger Waters as a Bass Player

    He's no virtuoso but he has a very recognisable style and his bass parts support and add to the songs without taking away the focus from the song...

    Basses with multiple (more than two) pickups installed

    "So I quit my band the final chapter" prologue

    You should have stepped aside and let the new bass player record the songs IMO. You won't be around to promote these songs (or use the recordings...

    Fender Precision 1975 - Price?
