Is a Fender Longhorn a boner? Precision plus?

[Craig Williams]

I got an 89 Precision plus, with the Lace pick ups. Is this what's referred to as a longhorn or is it a different model?

I think different,long horn are the early standards(now am pro) and you have an early deluxe(now ultra).

Longhorn/boner basses have 22 frets instead of the usual 20

Yeah know they have more frets and the longer horn / deeper cutaway to compensate. I was just wondering if the Precision plus was the same as a Longhorn....ie is Longhorn a generic term or was it a specific model. I think I read somewhere all Precisions at some stage were longhorn style....like a US Standard was a Longhorn. Is that correct?

As far as I know the Precision Bass Plus, Longhorn, and Boner bass are all the same thing.

I too have a Fender Precision “Boner” Longhorn P-Bass Plus TBX Lace Sensor 11056. They are referred to as the “boner” but named Longhorn P-Bass Plus. I have always assumed the “Plus” designation was due to this early attempt at a P/J bass. Can anyone confirm?
