Does any other company make a Precision Deluxe copy?

You can get Warmoth to route you a body like that, I'm sure...

That said, it is telling the Fender went back to the older P/J arrangement in their latest P-deluxe... The fat P'up Deluxe must not have been "all that"...

 

Check out the Schecter Diamond P custom.

 

Foundation S.. will be higher quality

 

It is "all that' to my ears. Only reason I own a Fender bass is that fat ol' humbucker. The OP can find a used American Deluxe from '96 to 2009, with that arrangement. great sounding basses.

I gotta say, I recently bought a Schecter C4 Diamond series and I'm incredibly impressed with the build quality and sound.

There are a number of P-deluxe copies around, you just need to keep looking.

 

Oh yes, I can't think of even one example of a company canning something that was a good idea.

 

That Schecter Diamond P Custom is mighty pretty, especially in metallic blue.

Of course, I want a maple fretboard. But still, it's pretty.

 

...and about a grand cheaper:

The neck will be slightly different..

Hardware will be on par with Fender custom shops..

MOST S basses will have dimarzios and allow for easy alteration.

 

Sandberg, also available w/ 5-strings.

 

That one looks well worth following! Good luck!

 

I just traded mine like you pictured to a guy for a 5 string Jazz version! I've seen at least 3 on my local Craigslist in the last few months...

 

the Schecter iDiamond P sounds just great.. check it out on this video

 

how about sandberg, better than ANY fender i have ever played/owned.

I have the 2009 P Deluxe, and the hum is very nice. I guess it's whatever you like at the end of the day, but I like the fact that even though it's two J singles as a hum, it's still completely different to a J config.

I was disappointed to see that Fender has dropped the hum on the 10 model.
