Sharing my excitement

[Knifedge]

Hey folks, I am just shaking with excitement here... TB is a great community with great people doing great things, I have learned a lot from reading the countless threads embedded in this fine virtual city to which I am proud to be a part of. I recently made a purchase to which I am extremely excited about.

I used to own a 4 string precision, I foolishly (debatable, since my mom and dad were going through some really rough times money wise) sold it.

I just wanted to convey my excitement. I apologize for this if it seems show-offish, but I truly am very excited about this purchase.

Thanks folks.

Don't apologize for being show-offish. Everybody shows off their pride and joy and it's encouraged, but there is a rule here; no pics, no bass! So when you get it, post 'em up!

Congrats on your aquisition!

A pretty bass, for sure. Don't waste it playing melody.

Sweet! Enjoy!

When I get the bass (should be here in a few days) I will post them. There are pictures the original owner took which are available at:

but proof is in the pudding, so as soon as it arrives, I will post a couple of pictures. I will need to take pictures of a bunch of other basses, because I will be selling a few of my collection. Running out of room, so to speak.

Good for you!

I have the same bass but in oly white.

It is AMAZING!!!!

I stopped bringing my '74 P to gigs as this sounds so good. It sounds EXACTLY like an American Standard 4 string P.... with another string!

I prefer the burst to my white actually. The SB finish is the nicest available on a P5 IMO.

I also have a 5 string Fender Jazz SB (with a white pickguard, but I am going to change that very soon) which I love to play as well.. just something about a PBass sound that is unbeatable for what I am playing.

A pretty bass, for sure. Don't waste it playing melody.

String it EADGC and play beautiful melodies.

What a NICE bass! Congrats! I LOVE the new 5 string USA Fender Precision's. They are truly awesome. Great tone, wonderful B string, and they sound like an old Precision. Well done!

 

[Knifedge]

I can't wait... I will try not to ignore my other basses, but I think the Pbass is going to get played a lot..

Wow! That bass looks killer!
Congrats!

Nice P5!

Be sure to take some good pics when it arrives!

 

[GRoberts]

Nice P5!

Be sure to take some good pics when it arrives!

Send it to me and I'll take some real good pics ... for free!

Beautiful - whats the string spacing, and nut width on one of those?

If you can't get excited about and show off a new purchase HERE then where CAN you?!?!

I'd certainly be excited about that purchase if I were you. Why? Because I have the EXACT same bass and can tell you from my own experience that it's definitely worth getting excited about. Think you're excited now? Wait 'til you actually get to play it.

Congratulations!


EDIT - I notice you're getting a pack of Chromes with it. The previous owner put TI Flats on mine but I recently bought a set of Chromes for it. I already have Chromes on a Jazz Fretless and really like both their tone and the feel but I've just been hesitant about actually making the change. I don't like the low tension of the TI's sound but I *love* how they sound. Make sure you post a review once you have a chance to play it - and put the new strings on.
