Hello

I'm interested in buying a 63 precision bass. Does anyone have soundclips of this bass (or can you record some)?

I know there's a video from Fender but the way it is played doesn't do it justice I think. The 58 reissue sounds really good in the video.

Thanks!

Timothy

I am also looking for sound clips too.

I know there are Kats out there that have these and their take on their new bass sounds good, BUT no videos yet???..C'mon guys..and gals..We want to hear what your new instrument sounds like.

PLEASE!!!!

Not to sound like a pessimist or a skeptic or a "know it all" but no 2 bass guitars ever sound the same.

And, in addition.....................

And even if someone or many provide sound clips of an AVRI P Bass, there are soooooo many variables that affect the sound. Eqing, strings, pick, fingers, area of plucking, speakers, amp, light or heavy plucking................many, many things.

It's best to try out as many P Basses as you can, in person in order to decide how an X, Y or Z, P Bass sounds.

I would not put too much creedence in sound clips (as if our computer's cheesy little speakers can do justice in producing quality sound.).

I agree, but still I'd like to hear some clips. :) Alltough a well recorded clip trough my AKG headphones can tell me something about the bass.

I'm going to NY in april and will check them out and buy one if I find one I really like.

to me sound samples are only useful when they are DI with no eq, no amp.
given that, i would disagree with the point you're making. even though there are slight differences where you pointed them out, the general tone of the bass, the instrument's character can be heard easily.
and it is safe to assume that other guitars of that line will sound the same.

also good quality head phones will do the job just fine especially if that sound clip is uploaded to youtube.

Is there any reason to think that they will sound different than the AV'62RIs that have been around?

Did the original '62s sound different than the original '63s?

I suggest you check the american vintage waiting room threads for the first question. Some say there is, others say there isn't. I think they will sound different.
