Yeah just for the looks.
I heard it’s theoretically supposed to have some impact on the sound, but I’ve never heard any difference....
I play like Mark on this vid - usually rest my thumb on the border of the pickguard, not the pickup

NBD - Fender Precision from the Mod Shop
WOW. That is beautiful. Are you based in the UK, going by the Scottish paraphernalia? If so, I had no idea you could access the Fender mod shop in the UK

No real Mods. I wanted the small neck and the Tort and to be sure the Bass was not stuffed around with at a Music Shop

I'm in NYC
Love that color, I like the anodized. It fits well with the covers too. The tort kind of stands out too much.
I like the anodized look but it's rather annoying under my fingers, especially if my nails come in contact with it.
I don't know if this is just a passing phase with me but I've been digging white guards lately, particularly on green. I picked up a '12 Jade Pearl P recently and settled on white after doing the same dance. Love the antique Olive color.
AVRI style anodized with thumb rest and covers for me ... unfortunately you will have to drill holes which is what actually makes me refraining from doing the same with mine ...
By the way, very nice rosewood fretboard
gold looks better of those two imho
I think int or parchment would be best
you are going to have to update your signature!
I seriously need to stay out of this thread. Too many good pictures!
Hi, quick question to american pro owner :
my finger nail just accidentally scratched the body, then I realized paint/finish feels thinner, compared to american standard.
is thinner finishing are one of changes that fender made for this series ?
