No, Fender. Stop it.

[mongo2]

I wonder if there are any dead spots?

 

[Hawaii Islander]

Erm... no?

I'd pay $350.00 for one.

This is very on brand for Fender. A superfluous throw back of a piece of technology that others are doing better.

 

[Gluvhand]

Jaco only needed 45s.

Not really, it just never went away. CDs were temporary just like cassettes and 8-track, but vinyl persists. I still have vinyl I bought in the 70s and deck and speakers I bought in the 80s. Although the deck isn't sunburst. If Gibson made a vinyl deck would the arm be glued on rather than removable?

We still have record stores here... but then we also all dress like Carnaby Street and drive Minis.

Whelp, we know who the snob is in this thread...

Needs a Fender brand PrecisionDeck hardshell case included for the most authentic experience using a Fender turntable.

Limited edition reliced PrecisionDeck coming soon.

 

[Killing Floor]

Don’t hate. It looks great. Nice cartridge. Ash plinth.
I have several P basses. And I have a belt driven walnut plinth turntable. I use mine almost every day.

And don’t act like P Bass players aren’t exactly in their marketing sweet spot. I am and you are.

 

[Pdaddy1978]

They're trying to capture the DJ market?
I did notice they named it the Fender Precision turntable.
I guess we're the target audience?
I mean, they didn't call it The Vinylcaster

 

[REV]

You don't play the paint. I want to see the specs. There are some REALLY good turn tables available for that kind of coin

 

[TNCreature]

I'm waiting for the Squier model...

 

[Grizelda100]

I'll wait till they do one in sea foam green.

That’s gotta be one of the biggest Emperor’s New Clothes sheeple con jobs ever. I was quite happy to kiss vinyl goodbye 30 years ago. If vinyl was so great in the first place, why wasn’t there a great hue and cry over it being phased out back then, even when the mastering/fidelity on the earliest CD’s wasn’t all that great, due to the fact that they were still using the LP masters(with their baked-in limitations)? Over time, labels figured out that oversight, and of course would periodically upgrade everything. What cracks me up about people’s self-righteous embracing of vinyl now, is that it’s still coming from a digital source. I never missed the extra handling, pops, surface noise, diminished frequency range, having to turn it over in 20 minutes, any of that. If anyone wants to prove how ironically hip they are, start collecting 78’s…

I just spent 250$ on a low fi pedal to put all the pops and static back in!

Oh yeah, that turntable…a sucker born every minute.

I recently played a CD for my wife, then played the same song on a record. She was stunned by how much nicer and warmer the record sounded. Sure they are old technology, and a pain to use; but they sound better than CD’s. Now, some here will not notice any difference between vinyl and digital. But some here on Talk Bass feel there Squire Affinity bass sound better than a Mike Lull bass.

Listening to records is more of an experience. Ya don’t just track through like your on an I-Pod. The music industry forced digital music upon us before it was ready. Digital is better now than 20 years ago. If you were doing studio work back then you would know what I’m talking about. Vinyl disappeared because the music industry phased it out. Not because digital was better. Although 30 years later is has now caught up.

The bottom line is vital sounds really nice. It is A different experience listening to an album. More vinyl sold than CD’s last year. Guess the emperor is putting his old clothes back on.

Waiting for custom shop relic model

buddy, wait’ll i tell ya what yamaha makes

Nice looking table. No idea about the quality of it.

Tables can go for insane money. The VPI HW-40 goes for 20k and is nowhere near the top.

The transrotor argos goes for over 200k.

Not that I would pay that kind of money. zi would rather just deck out a u turn orbit with a great cart and needle and call it a day.

Im sure the price tag is inflated, but in the realm of high end turntables, this is a drop in the bucket price wise.

As for fender branching out with Mofi on turntable, not a fan. Maybe it will be profitable for them though.

I love my Mofi records. The mastering is top notch.

 

[Corigan]

that’s the hardest one to find in “good” condition….

This album is sought after in vinyl circles. People see how many they can collect as they are so common. It's a game vinyl nerds play. I used to find one almost everytime I went to goodwill. I think I have 25+ copies. lol.

I wouldnt put any of them in VG condition. they are always beat up.

 

[cnltb]

Erm... no?

Has no frets, ergo; Is no 'Precision'...

 

[Rip Van Dan]

Needs a tort record.

You know...back in the 50's and early 60's, you'd sometimes get records in transparent colors. Don't remember seeing a tort one though...
