- Thread starter Nobody
- Start date
:***:
shenanigans aside, truthfully, i am quite interested in a P or sorts. i'm deciding between a couple custom order G&Ls. my decision is between; LB-100, SB-1, or SB-2. im not sure which one i want yet. i'm considering whether or not to make a thread about my journey, so don't be surprised if a new thread pops-up on the subject soon!
they are not 'good'
They are awesome !
My 2013 MIA P is the bee's knees.
The range of tones in that one tone knob always amazes me.

No kidding here: There is a music store in Springfield, Missouri called _____ Music. They have done a commendable job of upgrading and carrying a great selection of guitars. They have a wall of basses also. Ibanez, Lakland, and Fenders. 25 or 30 basses. Not one P. I asked them why and they said nobody wants a P. Everyone wants a Jazz bass. So they carry a bunch of Jazz 4s and several Jazz 5s. Mexican and American. Several Squier Jazz Basses. The Laklands are Jazz style also. I really am in the market for another P. Guitar Center in Springfield has one American P. One! And not because they all sold.
"Nobody wants a P"!!! Charlie Brown said I Best: "Aaaarrrrgggg!"

I got tired of Chuck Norris jokes a long time ago. They're not funny anymore. Overused and overhyped. Just like the P-Bass, but the P-Bass deserves that overhyping and overrating because it's THAT good.
I'm more of a jazz bass guy, though. Ask Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, Will Lee, and the god himself, Jaco Pastorius (if he were still breathing) why they don't use Precision Basses and you'd be surprised at their answers.
It's not for everyone for sure.
Probably adequate (but good for root n fifth metal bass parts.........)
What about Japanese built Fender Precision basses - I heard people say they were even gooder
Nope - he'd simply got bored by then and fancied something spicier with a bit of edge to it! A curry rather than boiled potatoes perhaps.

Longer than that. I got tired of Chuck Norris jokes my first year of middle school. Guess they just don't have the boredom power of the P-Bass

I corrected that one for you ;-) I'm off to use my Commodore 64 now - it's far better than any post 1980s computer!! Anyone using Bakelite input plugs on their valve amps..... makes em sound so much more authentic!!
I tried a Sandberg today.......I am not buying a Sandberg.
If you are spending around the price of a American Standard P-Bass, I don't know why you would bother with anything else.
No reason to complicate things.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
Nobody, you soon will be sent to the Land of Mod, and they will take your P bass and make you cry tears of ice cream.
Why? Is there a rule against threads on how the Fender Precision bass is a good bass?
Dry humour offends my religious beliefs, this must be stopped. Help me Mod-da, help help me mOd-Da.
P basses are great instruments, one of the most recorded in history, which makes it really strange that their owners are so insecure about playing them that they on an almost daily basis must seek reassurance from strangers on the Internet.
