Definitely will buy more Fender Precisions. This was my first and I LOVE it!
Sound
This bass sounds GREAT! I just recently purchased it and put it through the works. What a better way to test it than with some IRON MAIDEN tunes. This bass played fantastic. Even though the pickups are passive, it sounds SOO good. The split-P sounds fantastic. They are on an interesting angle too, which looked cool from a player's view.
Features
Great features! Some aren't crazy about an anodized pickguard, but it really looks good and it will last for a loong time. The neck is certainly the best feature. Nice vintage style maple neck, comfortable, GREAT action. I did change the strings, though. I went with flats for the warm tone. If you do stick to nickels, I would suggest getting coated ones. Scratching the fretboard would be upsetting.
Ease of Use
If you can't use a bass, send it back. Can't get any easier.
Quality
Primo quality. Genuine Fender. What else can you say?
Value
Awesome value for the proce. The '50's style is striking and it won't damage your wallet.
Manufacturer Support
Didn't need support, hence the mid-level 5 rating.
The Wow Factor
VERY appealing. The main feature is the maple neck, no rosewood. IT really complements the gold pickguard and the black body (which is what I got).
