NBD: Fender American Pro II Precision, and a problem

Hows it play? I have the same exact bass, but from a Mod Shop order. I just cant get along with the neck. Maybe over the years I've become used to the smaller profile of Modulus, Fodera, Sterlings, but man the P feels so gigantic to me now (pause lol). The fret level also isn't the best, got some buzzing past 12 if the action is where I like it. Im considering a new neck.

It plays fine. If you’re buzzing above 12 it’s probably because the string height is too low at the bridge. Try raising the saddles a bit and tighten the truss rod to compensate.
