"The best bass for a cheap bass"

Feature:
OF course its features are cool. You have all those vintage features from the old 51' basses with a modern badass bass bridge I htink min eis special because i was able to get it in artic white. Maybe its a new colour because when i got it from the music store i looked up its product number and it was brand new. And yes i do have a black scratch plate and a black star sticker on the bass.

Quality:
This bass has such good quality. You can tell by how a bass feels whether it could beak or if u drpped it off a building it wuldnt even dent.That is this bass. I also own a Flea bass 4 string in flake blue and i only use that for certain songs in my band when i need to tune down.

Value:
For the money it is definatly worth it. I rather use the dirnt than my flea which has about a 3000 dollar difference. I think id get another mike dirnt You can never have too many basses

Desirability:
It is sexy It looks good sounds good Simple to use Has all the upgrades people would usualy get for fenders e.g 59' pick ups, BadAss Bridge II

Sound:
This bass is the bomb. The pick-ups are awesome and are sooo loud. When i plug into my Fender 810 bass amp You can hear the walls starting to crack and the neighbours running down the street.

Ease of Use:
This product is very easy to use. Like every other p-bass except for those deluxes it has a volume and a tone knob. But if your amplifier has lots of EQ's then you can make any sound in the world.

Support:
Like every one says. Its a fender they dont get better than that. And there easy to reach

Overall:
If you read above you can see im pretty satisfied with this bass and i will definately get a few more to my collection in the other colours. this bass blows the american p-bass out of the water by a long shot This should be noted as one of the best. I wouldnt mind to have a model with 22 frets but apart form that it is awesome. cya

"Serious Bass"

Quality:
The construction and finish is excellent. It came out-of-the-box ready to play. No adjustments were needed.

Value:
I wih it was cheaper...but ya "get what you pay for."

Desirability:
The Mike Dirnt gets everyone's attention. My muscian friends appreciate the look and sound. Others just like the look. I got the Sunburst.

Sound:
This bass "cooks!!" I love the 51 pickup which provides excellent tone to rock and r&b music selection. Quality instrument cables are a must to aviod some buzz from the pickup. I enjoy my Ibanez active bass however, the construction and sound of this bass seperates from the others. Playing through my 2x10 SWR with a 115 ampeg extension lays out a strong clear sound. Make sure you get the 3.5 guitar strap for the extra weight.

Ease of Use:
You will need to use the eq on your amp to change tones. This is expected with a passive bass.

Support:
No need to contact Fender to this point.

Overall:
I extremely satisfied! I have a vintage Univox fretless, active Ibanez and the Dirnt. Adding the Dirnt to my collection has me set. I would get another if anything happens to this one.

Description
Docs
Mike Dirnt and his band mates in Green Day almost single-handedly brought pop and punk to the masses in the '90s. The new Mike Dirnt Precision Bass is as unique and cool as Green Day's music and was designed to Mike's own unique specifications. Mike's bass was modeled after the Fender'51 P Bass, and features an ash, slab body with a '55 arm contour and pickguard. Other features include a thick, maple 'C'-shape neck modeled after Mike's original '69 P Bass, Custom Shop '59 P Bass pickup, and a BadAss II bridge with chrome hardware.
