Need precision bass info......

[clashcity]

Hi,
I've been a pro guitarist for many years.....
Looking for a precision under $750 either new or used....
I'm wondering if you guys could give me some input as to what might give me the best bang for my buck?

you can sometimes find used fender p basses on reverb for about that! sometimes American, but mostly MIMs, I recommend finding a Road Worn or classic 50 reissue.

If you're able to go just a bit higher than $750., You can find some fine used Am. Std. Precisions. Find one of those, and you're set. If you go to low in price, you may get a bass that you may put more money into, to up grade to better pups etc. Am. Std. Precisions are some of the best as they come out of the factory. Setups are however you like it to be, maybe not the way it is in the store, or with the current owner. In a used bass, I wouldn't recommend purchasing anything you can't hold in your hand to look at, and inspect it.

Roughly where are you? The answer to your question would differ greatly if you are in New York or in Moscow.

Do yourself a favor and get a PJ.
With a 15% off Guitar Center coupon you can get this for $750 new.
I saw a used one yesterday for $699.
There's an active version too and they sell used for under $700.
P bass with Jazz bass neck and J pickup.

You won't find a better-sounding bass.

Don't just take my word on it.
Fender deluxe PJ smokes MIA imo
