NBD - Closet Classic Precision Pro

[Muddslide]

Many congratulations! Oh, that is so sweet. Didn't even know about this model.

This is as classy as they come, my friend. Who wouldn't dream of owning this?!?!?

Fantastic bass. Looks great. I have one on order right now.
How about the neck profile? I know that the width is 1.5" (Jazz spec), but does it have a slim or chunky profile?
Congrats on the bass.

Hey Josh, did yours arrive yet?

I'll take one like it, but a 5'er.....
NIIIII
SCH....

They had one of these at NAMM -- beauty!

 

[Ant B 2021]

Thanks Man. I bet it would look sweet in a 5'er. Would have to lose the Jazz width neck though, right?

Did you play it? If so what were your impressions. Thanks!

Didn't play it -- the CS basses were roped off so all we could do was look. But it looked beautiful--just like yours.

Thanks. I can't put it down. I can say its the best feeling bass I've been lucky enough to pick up. The tone is absolutely killer also. I play finger style and pick and the tones I can dial in are Fab. I get the classic P bass growl with the neck pick up, classic J bridge pup sound when soloed and when I blend the two, I get a lovely tight "modern: tone that is beautiful for slapping. Definitely my GAS killer!

THis bass REEKS of the late, great future Hall of Famer.... the one and only CARL RADLE !!!

AWESOME !!!

SKEET! SKEET! SKEET!

congratulations ... looks like something you could keep for a lifetime

 

[jazzmonkey]

Wow! Just wow!

 

[peledog]

Blocks and binding - just adds a whole new visual appeal to the bass! Congrats!

Cool bass congrats. I don't like the burst on it though... there's too much black and the fade is not smooth.

By the way the 2012 Closet Classic looks like this:

The fade shows up like that with flash photography, probably smoother in naked light.

 

[Road Bull]

Man that thing looks sweet! I wish I could hear that thing sing. I can't seem to find much in the way of audio clips in that configuration on youtube either.

Enjoy!

Yeah the pics don't do it justice. The burst is more subtle than it appears here. I'll try and take some shots under more natural light.

Is there anywhere to listen to some sound clips of this model Fender? I wish Fender had done sounds clips to show off these nice basses.

For those lucky enough to have a Closet Precision Pro, could you try to describe the balance between the jazz and p pickup in this passive configuration?

I have yet to hear a passive p/j fender. but I have heard it has been hard to get a good mix between the two pickups in passive without the jazz pickup getting a bit buried by the p.

 

[J. Crawford]

Still my all time favorite Fender. That white one just doesn't do it for me.

Hey Man, there is a video by Mike Eldred on the Fender CS site where he is demonstrating the 2012 model. Exactly the same bass except for color. Should answer a few of your questions.

Guys - sorry to bump my own thread, but has anyone else picked up one of these in either the 'burst or olympic white?? I'm dying to see pix of other closet classic pros ... Thanx!
