Talked him down to letting me walk out with both for $2500 flat, but they were already previously marked down to $1299 for the Caprice and $1399 for the Cutlass.

I love my Precision, but I will confess that there are times that it just feels big and a little clunky. The Cutlass immediately appealed to me as a pared down, better made version. Is the Cutlass body smaller than a P?

Also I like the idea of quality belied by a (o.k. my opinion) budget looking bass. Like a super Bullet bass.

That shallower angle on the hips makes a pretty big difference in feel but they are about the same size. The 1.65” nut (this p is 1.75”), more ergonomic pickup screw shaping, and neck plate cutaway shaping do make it feel less clunky. But I prefer a P body shape to a J body shape, and the same is true here I like the Cutlass body shape more than the Caprice.

The Cutlass is the one I am grabbing the most.

Although the E strings on both EBMM's don't line up perfectly with the PU poles on the neck PU, if you're into that kind of thing

I love the Cutlass so freaking much. It’s my new bass crush, especially that color! Way to go.

Im in DC too. Ive probably played those exact basses. I drove to 4 different GC's in the DMV to play these basses . I preferred the Caprice but wanted it in the Diamond blue/maple like the Cutlass. So I had to order mine. Which GC did you get them from? You got a great deal.

The one in Rockville, you probably did play these same basses, that's cool! I know the Cutlass had been there for months I had gone back to it several times.

Yep Rockville is the only GC that had both at the same store at the same time.
