NBD - Fender Precision Am Pro II

My new Fender Precision arrived today. I absolutely love it . I will probably tinker with the setup a little, but out of the box, it’s gorgeous!

Nice bass!

I bought an American Pro II Precision 5-string a few months ago. It literally arrived from Sweetwater literally flawless in fit and finish. I did change the the pups to Lindy Fralins (his first P5 wind) and I was much happier with the tone. And added a genuine gold anodized aluminum pickguard. Really set off the looks.

I later sold that P5 bass to our bandleader who has it sitting in our rehearsal studio. I had decided that I wasn't quite the Precision bass enthusiast that I'd like to be. and sold it in a weak moment. But I pick it up occasionally during rehearsals or sessions, so I've grown halfway fond of it again. And after NYE, I'm gonna buy it back. I think it will make a great companion to my new Stingray Special.
 
I'm just glad that lots of folks have been getting instruments delivered safe and sound during the holiday parcel madness.

I tend to hold off on shipping stuff in and out until the fever breaks and things settle back down to a normal flow.

But that doesn't mean that others shouldn't give it a go. And get handsomely rewarded.
