What precision?

look on ozbass, some very nice Ps go on sale there.

any colour is good, as long as it's Sunburst with rosewood neck and tort PG hehe

 

I'm at the same point as you, thinking about a fiver.....but don't want a wide neck either, or maybe I should just tune my MIM P to BEAD tuning seeing as I haven't touched it since I bought the MIA P a month later hehe

 

I'm of the opinion that new basses are almost never worth the money when used basses are available for significantly less, but if you have the money to spend, how about a Carvin PB4 or 5 built to your specs?

Yah. I'm a Fender guy but Carvins are fantastic instruments. Their new precisions are very Fendery. You can use their "bass builder" to select options and come up with a final cost. I've done it with this model in a PJ with only a few high end options and it came out to about $1400. If you leave everything fancy out, it comes out to about $900 and it's still a hell of a bass.


Used Carvins are some of the best bang for your buck basses you can get cuz they have really low resale value but these haven't been around long enough to show up on the used market.

 

I wouldn't plunk down that kind of $$$ without first trying one out, and being SURE you are going to play it. Could be a costly mistake if you buy it on whim.

 

Precision necks are an acquired taste: they can be chunky, which may or may not be up your alley. I agree with buldog5151bass, try before you buy. I recently tried six Fender Precisions of various models with a budget of A$2,300. A MIM Deluxe P-Bass Special fell into the Goldilocks zone in terms of playability and sound, and cost me about A$1,300 from the Basscentre in Melbourne.

 

I personally don't care for Precision 5's, so I'd go with an Am. Std. Precision 4 stringer. They're hard to beat.
