Fender to Warwick is like
Ford to BMW,
Budweiser to Becks,
Britney Spears to Heidi Klum....

...where was I...

What really puzzles me about your choice is that going from a MIA P to a MIM P really seems to me like a step backwards. Fender's always been music for the masses, and I personally wouldn't be without my MIM Jazz, but Warwick's a different deal altogether.

I've played the cheapest new Corvette money can buy (4 string, natural Ash, passive pups) and it still knocks a MIA Fender out of the water sound and build quality wise, even though it's only £100 more than a MIM P.

My advice is don't stop at the cheapest Corvette. Get something in bubinga, maple, afzelia or ovangkol, and be prepared to never touch the Fender again.
 
1) Go to a new repair guy. A GOOD repairman only needs to fix things once. Since this keeps happening, he's never really "fixed" it.

2) Go to a new repair guy.

3) Go to a new repair guy!!!

4) Once your MIA Precision is fixed, buy a Warwick and enjoy them both. Don't take the step backwards to the MIM.

(PS, go to a new repair guy.)
