Ok, so I am looking for a new bass soon.

It is between the Fender MIM Standard Precision Bass and the Warwick Corvette.

I already have a MIA P-Bass but it seems to break alot. So the P-Bass would be a nice because it would be the perfect replacement everytime my main one breaks. But, the Warwick would be good because it will be DIFFERENT if you know what I mean.

Your comment and opinions will be much appreiciated.

Cheers

Whats wrong with your current Pbass? You ought to take it to the shop to get it fixed before anything.

Then buy a Warwick.

It is being fixed at the mo, it is its 4th time back to the repair guy, first time i took it in he said that what had happened he had never seen happen before and he said he would doubt it would ever happen again. Since then i have taken it back 3 more times for the same problem.

in my opinion everyone should have a P-bass in his arsenal, even if its not his main bass.

P-basses are the bread and butter of bass guitars and would fit in almost any style of music.
I love my Warwicks but I play the Precision the most because the sound and feel of it are something that you can't get anywhere else.

although i'm curious as to why your precision is breaking- if i were in your shoes i would: get your p fixed, sell it, buy another p (mia/cij/mim, whatever sounds best) and a corvette, then live happily ever after! :bassist:

I really do not want to sell it because i bought it with my inheritance from my grandma.

Erm, i think the problem with it is that half the the volume pot keeps breaking or something like that, I dunno.

Change repair guys. There could be no simpler bass to work on than a Fender Precision. Sounds like your repair guy is clueless..........

Well he has fixed it everytime i sent it too him, he is spending more time with it now to see what exactly is making it breaking. Honestly, he is the best repair man in my area.
