NBD: '50s Precision

[96tbird]

Not a ding, dent, chip and nary a swirlie mark. Dunlops, set of strings, strap and case.

$425 CDN. Beautiful

Wow!! Beautiful indeed!! Sweet deal! Congrats!!

 

[Muddslide]

Definitely beautiful. Just pure class. Always loved these. They have my favorite necks of just about any current Fenders.

Congratulations. I wish you many, many years of enjoyment with it!

Dropped the action to 2mm, was about 4! It's just lovely.

Love the chunky neck. But it doesn't feel anything but natural. Great resonance. Balances at 18... Gotta weigh it.

 

[96tbird]

9.5 on the bathroom scale.

Thanks for the 'grats.

Hmm just ordered a p-46 for my CVP, can't decide where to put it now. This pup sounds awesome with the original 2006 rounds on. Thick. Do I put this pup on my CVP and the p-46 in the '50s? Oy vey!

Congrats! Looks great. I never saw a need to swap pickups on my Honey Blonde '06 Classic '50s P. It was one of the best-sounding P's I've ever owned. My thinking was, "If it ain't broke..."

Good advice. Agreed.

Awesome. Love them Precisions all day long. Congrats.

Great looking bass. I love the maple necks on these 50s P basses.

I have a question about the pick guard. They look great, but do they feel rough and scratchy?

 

[96tbird]

They have texture but not scratchy at all. Just a satin feel like raw clear furniture grade pine wood.

That's a beauty. I love the long shaft tuners! Is that Fiesta Red?

Yep. Not my favorite but at this price it's a no brainer.

Great stuff! Great deal!

 

[Lowbrow]

Great deal on a great bass - congrats and enjoy it!

 

[aRandomAggie]

Congrats! I have a P-46 in my Classic 50's P. The stock pup sounds great, but I think the P-46 is even better.

 

[Moving Pictures]

I love the sound of those basses. Very ballsy! Congrats on the new bass, now go play the heck out of it!

 

[pudgychef]

Congrats on a killer deal on a real nice bass!

 

[mikeyjm2]

Very nice! Nothing not to like about a good P at a good price.

 

[bobalu]

A real bargain, well done! Beautiful bass.

 

[VerryBerry]

Woow! Unbelievable deal!! 2006 and no scratches? Amazing. A beautiful classic.
