Best value:
Excellent
USA model, 20 frets, 1 microphone American Standard Precision Bass Alnico 5 Split Single-Coil, 2 settings (volume, tone). Bought 1155 euros 15 days ago
FINALLY! Fender realized that was his big problem (I already had 3 fender before, and the problem is that I can spend more time for each to adjust the handle to play live )
The handle of this precision is 2008 maple reinforced with graphite.
Little test to see: I changed the strings fender base (45-110) for EBS 45-105. On one of my old Fender, I had to re-adjust the handle. There, very pleasant surprise, it did not move an inch
In addition to the neck is super comfortable to the touch and very fast in the game
Brief but good for this new edition. It keeps the advantages and disadvantages it erases the old.
UTILIZATION
The handle close to perfection (this is necessarily a comment from my game).
For me the perfection of the race has always been for the Yamaha ATT LTD II, I found the perfect race. Well, the current round of precision is the same accabit. Channel rapid, pleasant to the touch, but good.
Access to treble is excellent (if I wanted to nitpick I just regret that there is no longer a box to go with 21 frets, giving 3 octaves, and the high E is a note that can be used fairly often, but hey ...).
I used to play jazz, to Latin, or rock.
Due to the low setting, finding a sound is not very difficult. One branch, and has sound
The finish is very neat, it is really very good.
SOUNDS
Like any precision, it has a sound that sends well. Because it is passive and just 2 settings (volume, tone) setting is very simple But we found all its precision. Punchy but accurate.
I only keep this bass and a jazz bass Lakland, 2 giving me any latitude depending on what I play. However I still use this precision when I play jazz, it's fine too.
The slap is a treat as well.
That's good you are told
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 15 days
What I like: HANDLE (thank you for having improved this was THE default in previous versions), the feel of the neck, the sound that really fishing
What I like least: uh ... nothing (well may be a 21st fret would be nice, but our worthy predecessors have never had need 21 frets to solo anthology )
Before this bass, I had many other (aria, alembic, tobias, Zon, fender urge, urge II Fender, yamaha bb yamaha ATT LTD II, which so far ......) m ' had liked best was the Yamaha ATT, but it is no problem at least as well (plus the absence of limitation slap at the Yamaha due to his microphone too close to the handle)
Excellent value for money.
If I had to redo a choice, I reselect this précison and Lakland bass in jazz.
