Hi guys today I propose an interesting comparison between two Precision basses: on one side a Fender Precision American Pro 2 and on the other a Tribe Spike 4. For both basses I used the same strings (Sansone round steel) playing completely flat and with the same volume settings. The original versus clone ... let me know your choice!

Spike sound better to my ear, full body tone and stronger output . The vmod ll on Pro ll sound just like what I try at guitar store several week ago, lacking the P vibe warmth and just bright.
I choose Vintera 50P because sound much better than Pro ll.
