NBD Fender American Special p-bass

[magyk8ball]

I decided to get the american special Precision bass while it was on sale at GC. Seems like a great deal for this bass, leaps above performance from the mim stuff, not leaps above in price. Really digging this thing so far.

Should fill a niche i dont have with my other basses, and it looks good sitting next to them

I played one at GC....much better then MIM stuff....great for people who like light basses. I dont like light basses so I passed on it....but super light for people who like that!

I had all I could do to not buy one of these on sale a couple months ago. I don't need one, but they're definitely nice basses. Congrats!

I saw one for $699 a while back and it was hard to pass it up. The look, sound and feel is a killer combo on these.

 

[Mikio]

Nice looking bass!, congrats!

 

[Megas3300]

Do like the price, kind of having a hard time falling in love with that finish.

 

[faulknersj]

That is a sweet classic workhorse!!

I put a down payment on a used Sunburst 2010 With rose board @ GC last week $ 499.00 saw it and couldn't get it out of my head.

These things are really light. You are correct. This is the lightest bass i have, its definitely different.

Very light. Play awsome! At least the one I messed around with at GC in Syracuse NY. Trying to pry it from one of the associates paws was not an easy task. He kept telling me that if it was still there in a few days, he was buying it.

I wonder if they will be available until the end of Jan. at this price? I may have to get myself a birthday present......

Beautiful! Good deal.

 

[Megas3300]

I played one, and will again this weekend if GC doesn't sell it, but how durable does the finish seem? It reminds me of my first bass (stripped basswood body), so I'm squeamish about the soft feeling finish. Does it feel as if it'd ding easily? or is it fairly scratch resistant?

 

[Diesel Kilgore]

Beautiful bass. Not a big fan of sunburst finishes but I am really liking that one. Its subtle and classy. Great score!

 

[P. Aaron]

Congrats! Love them Precision basses.

They say that about everything.

 

[Megas3300]

I just got my GC to order one for me for $633 after tax!

They are giving these away, but they're great MIA basses,
