Fender Precision Bass thread

[I Need a six...]

They are great, but they just are not that flexible. Not a bad thing but if your into the "lead bass style" like me it can be frustrating. It's all I own and I love it In a classic setting, but for my solo projects I'm finding I need a bass that brings more to the table

Last night I set all of my basses in the dining room. Two Fender P basses and an Ibanez and a Cort P J basses. I brought out the dishes and silverware, Seahag (my wife) brought out the potatos and meat , and Jailbait (my daughter) brought out the veggies and dessert. Gatorbait (my bass playing son) is still away at school so he wasn't there. None of the basses brought anything to the table and none of the basses helped clean up afterwards. To be fair , the basses didn't eat anything or make a mess either.

I hate to derail a good fake P bass thread with a serious comment but those Hot Rod P basses are awesome. My bass teacher had one back in 2000. I tried to play it as much as possible. I had my 77 P bass at the time. The 77 was a good bass(because it was a P bass) but that Hot Rod was the cat's pajamas!
OK back to the fakeness.

Strong with the Farce are you. But you are not a Jedi satirist yet.....

HERE's a good page to look-up. i just stumbled upon it in the whole net dot comm. what are the chances?!

Fretless version should be called this, so as to avoid the oxymoron 'fretless precision'

Fretless Precision = Fender Imprecision. But still gooder n' other fretless basses.

Mine is good. I mean good. Okay? it's good. I like it. Because it's good. And so is my other one. It's good. I like it, too. Because it's good. And I also have a Japanese built one. It's good. It's not as good as the other one, but it's better than the other one. It's good.

Totally missed the point of this thread, dude. Fender Precision basses are good.

Good thing Nobody is allowed to troll on talkbass.

I believe the worst thing that might happen is this thread could possibly be moved to the bass humor section, since its intent was purely tongue-in-cheek.

With that being said, My Precision actually is a good bass. Even for a Precision, which are good basses.

can you read?! I specifically said they are great basses. I love everything about mine. It's not a great lead bass, that's all. Read the post man.

Live at Leeds?

 

[GregT]

Ow!

 

[goodformetal]

It's not a great lead bass

Hmmm, that's a great point! But we all can't be the ox. It dosent fit my specific style that well, that's a better way to put it. And Remember he switched to alembics later in his career.

No every bass has strong and weak points. The p is probably the best classic rock bass in my opinion. But play it and then play a richenbacker and tell me it cuts through the mix as well as the ric. It's not a bash on the p, i love my p. but I'm starting a bass guitar keyed project and it's not going to be my go to bass for that.

I'm afraid you have actually missed the point of this thread.
Fender P basses are good. Gooder, even. For everything.

 

[goodformetal]

Everything, including:

Solo.


Slapparooni..

and one more for good measure...

I never said they were bad or you couldn't solo on them. I actually do it all the time. But it's not the perfect bass to do lead style on. Stop being an ignorant jerk. My god somone speaking there mind?! We simply can't had that! Immature, I love my p. But it isn't good for everything. No bass is.

 

[Batmensch]

P basses are good, but only with flats. Without flats they aren't good basses.

As a matter of fact, no basses without flats are good basses. Especially for metal.

Yeah? Talk to Geezer Butler.

i love my p.
