All user reviews for the Fender American Standard Precision Bass [2012-2016]

I'll let you read about the specs! I'm here to give advice, not to inventory specifications, but in summary, there's only good in:
Pickups Fender Custom Shop CS 60 with good thick coils!
Easel HiMass
Strings transversantes (A must!)
Light key that fit the American deluxe .. the sweetness and impeccable accuracy
All attributes of the American Deluxe that I find uninteresting ...
A volume knob
A tone knob (very efficient, which allows a lot)
This bass is made for the big sounds but essentially sneaks around anyway ...
It has a simple and highly efficient electronic .. A passive bass Very convincing!
I'm not the only one to say .. And then you saw the swarm of people who play it? endorsers for some, but certainly it's everywhere! There's still a good reason ... They rarely have a Precision Active ... Just American Standard passive two knobs ..
if .. if .. photos look good!

UTILIZATION

The handle is a bit big but, but nothing off-putting, at first I hand goes everywhere.
I do not blame him ANYTHING!
The maple fingerboard is snapping at will if we play the tone
The key Rosewood is softer, but it is not really what makes the difference ..
On the aesthetic preference for maple for me .. sound also ...
The weight ... Therefore a bit anyway, but this serves its massive board .. must not forget ..
Low, it is above all microphones on a board .. whose strings tickle the magnetic field, but on either side of the rope, there Wooden .. and on the body ... if the board is thick is so heavy is that it brings serious more ... and with a good bridge. the sustain!
Precision are so thick .. which also gives it a sacred character .. for me they are the best .. The circular pickguard is still better than the Jazz .. I have both, but I prefer accuracy.

SOUNDS

I play for péchus pieces in terms of energy.
perfect for Rock songs well! It shines a lot in Pop, too, but the very rich palette of sounds ...
This is due to its microphones .. They are not there to do many things, but u kind of sound accurate although they are simply beautifully ...

Tone only affects the sound, but how sweet when we play smart, tone almost zero ... It's round, it's warm wish.
This is a bass that brings a kind of sweetness in pieces that have balls .. Wholesale ...
To pick, it is a treat ... now, with the original FENDER strings .. we will see later.

OVERALL OPINION

A week of use.
A week of hearts!
I test on everything to see the difference avecmes other basses.
I am very surprised to see that happening everywhere ... Fast, soft, pick, slap fingers ... this is awesome!
I begin to understand this craze which I doubted before.
on the other hand, in terms of price: 1300 euros .. this is a great value for money. It is an upper hand!
How can Fender out this bass almost discredits American Deluxe?
Unami very experienced bassist told me that if I were interested in accuracy, I had to turn to an American Deluxe ... I do not see why, well now I understand ..
I heard, played ... I do not know what would make an American Deluxe and more ..
on the other hand I tried Squier, Mexican ... nothing to see! It has the same face but the savings components and varnishes serve the sound ....
Polyurethane varnish American Deluxe revised thinner compared to previous editions, does not trap wood ...
Buy or Mex Squier is buy a thick varnish Cheap prevents the wood to vibrate .. And yeah guys .. Thick Unvernis is not laid a wager of quality .. It prevents the wood aging well and neutralizes vibrations that same wood is supposed to amplify ....
The alternative to small bass Squier Fender Mex kind or cheap is to put a good mic, but it remains a good microphone on a wooden smothered by a thick varnish ..
It is not that the Marketing .. this is a fact!
Buy American Deluxe is packed with electronic .. it is no longer in the mind ..
You have to compare what is comparable .. gold, with the AM STD PRECISION, we are in the upper hand ..
Given that there is a good varnish, the more it ages, the better it will sound!
Buy with confidence, and for a long time!
