Feature:
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.

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.

Desirability:
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).

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.

Ease of Use:
If you can't use a bass, send it back. Can't get any easier.

Support:
Didn't need support, hence the mid-level 5 rating.

Overall:
Definitely will buy more Fender Precisions. This was my first and I LOVE it!

Feature:
As with all other Fender basses (except for Japan) this bass has a rather crappy bridge. That said, it's easier than working around the horrible Rickenbacker bridge. It aint a G&L bridge (10), but you can make it very workable by careful adjustment. Don't hit it with a hammer. The pickup is to die for. It sounds just right. The controls function nominally. The neck is the star of this show. One-piece maple in the old-school fashion. No separate fretboard here. Just perfect, except the fret ends need to be dressed. They won't wound you, but they could be smoother.

Quality:
The fret ends need dressing. Otherwise perfect.

Value:
For around $600.00 US you cannot get a better bass new. It's a player and a looker and sounds fabulous.

Desirability:
Beautiful bass; plenty of sex appeal for women who are disinclined to guitar heros yet want to do the bass guy. This instrument is presentable from a prom to an iconoclastic glue-head fest. None other. Arguably the best-looking bass on the planet.

Sound:
This is a breakthrough for Fender Mexico. The sound is just great. The combination of body, neck and pickup is superb. Literally, this instrument sounds just the same as an old P-Bass.

Ease of Use:
Who can't figure out how to use a P-Bass?

Support:
Granted, Fender gets too many requests for BS at any given minute. Yet, I don't like that I can't communicate with Official Fender.

Overall:
This bass has de facto replaced my Hotrod P-Bass. I'll wear it out and hope I can buy another new (but Fender seems not to remember history while remembering its history). Crappy bridge, less-than perfect fret ends; you can wank it hard and it doesn't gripe. Softly it brings tears, particularly when played finger-style at the neck end. This is a professional instrument at an amazing price. It sounds that good. Poplar body. Nice.

Feature:
Basic, very basic. Just the way it should be. Lets your fingers do the talkin'

Quality:
The finish was flawless and the hardware was mounted just the way it should be ....solid.

Value:
Best bang for the buck

Sound:
After playing a Jazz for the last 15 years, I forgot how good a P bass sounds. I play jazz and funk and the p bass is second to none. The lows are tught and the highs are not annoyning. For the money this is the best bass you can buy

Support:
Don't know, never had to deal with Fender.
