There's a P pickup in there under that soapbar...
Lately it’s been my US Lakland 44-51 with a jazz neck of course.
Fiesta Red: check
Roasted maple neck: check
Rosewood fingerboard: check
Side output jack: check
Six bolt neck joint: check
Modern hardware: check
Quality German craftmanship: check
Can I afford it? Maybe if I get another check
um... nope, non of my favorite "non-Precision" Precision Basses are really Precision Basses, because they all have PJ pickup arrays. There is absolutely no bass with a single P pickup that does anything for me...except the occasional (and extremely rare) ancient Fender P.
But, for the record, my favorite non-Fender basses that have a Precision pickup are the Pedulla Buzz/MVP, and the original Spector NS-2.
Oh, wait, does a Rob Allen Solid 4 count? 'cuz that's definitely my favorite non-Precision Precision Bass.

I thought this was one of the prettiest non-P Ps I've ever seen... So I bought it.
And if PJs count

Representing the southpaws here. I’m a short scale player, but Fender would having nothing to do with building a lefty Mustang, and basically told me that I’m an e-mail, so Sore got my business instead. Ignore the J pup, it’s just for looks, IMHO. The P pickup is where it’s all at, especially through anything Ampeg while plucking LaBellas.

The one in front of me. Currently called a Monterrey. It's a P, right? If the neck doesn't give me grief I can mod the rest to get in the ballpark. Cept the one now has a Wilde P45. Which is probably worth trying in a budget 5 string.
No rush.

Go on then I'll play

I don’t understand “non-Fender Precision Bass”. A Precision Bass is a Fender. Do You mean a bass that copies the Fender Precision pickup setup?
