NBD: Fender American Professional II Precision

Geez you guys, are you not sick of seeing fender precision‘s? I mean they’re everywhere now, based on how they’re flooding the market and are in every brick and mortar store, they should be a dime a dozen, but you people keep buying them. They’re such a cliché now.
This is how I feel about Fender Jazzes! I've had a Jazz Bass for almost 14 years. I learned how to play the instrument on one and it was cool when I started out. Then I acquired my first Rickenbacker 4003 and learned that it can do everything I wanted my Jazz to do but much better. I acquired my first P Bass 2 years ago and playing it is like breathing fresh air or trying a really tasty new food for the first time. So my answer is no, I'm not sick of seeing Precisions even though they are ubiquitous. But I am sick of seeing Jazzes!

Sorry for the inconvenience (not really). Welcome to the internet!

First bass I’ve ever purchased that still had the hang tags and protective plastic on the tuners, pickups, and pick guard of course. Needs a slight intonation adjustment but other than plays and sounds great!

Congrats. Nice lookin' bass.
RECOMMENDATION: Before you get too far into P-Bass utopia, get a ziploc bag, put ALL the case candy into it, label it and store it someplace where you'll find it if you ever decide to sell the bass. Wanna add 6-10% to resale? THAT's how you do it.
