Going to post a string rant for a bit here.
Although these basses are not far removed from the regular Fender Precision genetic strain, they are nevertheless different. Therefore, as a string-changing nutball, I am very into trying different strings on these things.
When I first got this bass, MIM La Cabronita, I played it with rounds that came on it, D'Addario nickel wounds, light gauge. Bright as heck, but sounded great. Took the suggestion to put Chromes on it, and did. Loved it, because I'm a fan of Chromes. But then I got a wild hair and threw some very old GHS Pressurewounds on it, that I had sitting around for about six years or something like that. They sounded good, but seemed tense as all get-out. So, I restrung it with the same Chromes and played it like that for a while. But something didn't seem all that right about it to me, and after a while, I put the Pressurewounds back on it and adjusted it and dialed it way, way down and played it until they broke in.
Now, I switch strings around all the time in order to try different things for different sounds. I've had tapes on my Warwick and all sorts of stuff. But I have to say, GHS Pressurewounds sound really, really good on these basses.
So the point of this post is that I am wondering, since these basses are so new (compared to the rest of the Precision line), what other people have been doing to/with theirs in this sort of regard.
I might not change the pickup out. And I thought there were a couple more people here who had one of these. The other one in the store where I bought mine did.
