Nice family photo.

Didn’t mean it was the “same same”, just the same model. Btw, how did you like the sound and finish?. I have a few Mexican Precisions and a US one and I think that this one had the best fretboard of all of them

I bought the same one from fender and just sent it back as it had a crack on the finish by the bridge plate. This was only 7.4lb on the bathroom scale. You can see photos on my previous post. Hopefully they’ll send me a new one without defects and a little more weight as 7.4 was causing quite a...

hi Mysticsandwich, not much out on YouTube about these Japanese new basses as they're not very common but from what I can tell having had one in my hands the finish is really good especially on the fretboard. (except for the obvious paint cracks mine had on the back of the plate, that was not...

Hello everyone, I just received last week my new Fender P-pass made in japan in Maui blue. Bought it directly from fender as it was in stock and sweetwater said they will not get them until december. First impression as soon as I opened the box was the bass is SUPER LIGHT. I have other...

I actually just replaced the V-mod 1 with Fralin stock and I'm much happier with tone and response. have not played them live or in a band but I've tested some recordings and they sound better to me. I honestly don't know why fender changed some true and tested pickups for these V-mod pickups...

what pickups did you put in? did it make a big difference?

Thanks for the info. I'll try that today. I just got the fralins so I'll do that before swapping them out. Maybe I'll also record some audio sample and post it on YouTube.

Thanks for the info on your rig and for sending the audio link. It is a good production. I can hear that with the flats and noble pre your bass sounds nice and mellow. Unfortunately my 2017 American precision pro with rounds sounds just very trebely and thin. It just lacks that classic P-bass...

Good to hear I’m not the only one that was unhappy with those v-mod. Curious to know if the bass community was happier with the second iteration on the American Pro 2.

Curious to know if It's just me or there are many others not liking these pickups. I recently bought an american pro 1 in candy apple red. I must say I really don't like the V-mod pickup especially the A and E string, I find those two strings a little lifeless, good in the mix but I don't feel...

I recently bought an american pro 1 in candy apple red. I must say I really don't like the V-mod pickup ( I know it's not the v-mod 2 but it's a similar concept of alnico 2 and 5 combo), I don;t like especially the A and E string, I find those two strings a little lifeless, good in the mix but I...

I was looking for a fiesta red precision with the same pick guard and I could have picked it up in person as I'm in woodbury and you're not far. Too bad I'm just a few years late. HAHA
