Here is a pretty good Fender Precision made in Mexico, the country of the sun god. If the shape of the instrument is not surprising for a penny, it is reassuring in all its aspects. Classic beauty, it remains timeless and passes the year with a morgue to drool with envy in their less fortunate comrades drawing. Lower Rock par excellence, it does more than accompany, it transcends the physical and aesthetic sound. Delivered in the Blue navy with gold pickguard, she exudes class, period. Fittings sober and proven, we would have preferred a BadAss bridge but it is still possible to install later. No lack of taste in any case since we are left with ceramic noiseless pickups, a J-bass bridge for a P-bass for the center / sleeve. The choice of the king in an amount azccompagné active electronics which we will see the value later. Add a solid handle, flat enough to succeed without firing a shot features the most daring enough to get round felt like a real bass in hand and not a guitar (Horreur!!)

UTILIZATION

The grip is formidable. Balance involves sitting or standing, ergonomic adjustments dees, hand position easy to find. Immediate identification, one has the impessive always have played it. We then see that Fender has changed its policy in recent years. All the bass of any nationality whatsoever, has a very good finish at any level of the range that is. Squier owners are delighted that the jammy sods who have a model of the Custon Shop ..... As for me, having been fortunate not to have too strong of budgetary constraints, I threw my heart on her because of her choice of microphones and percussion unexpectedly active electronics ....

SOUNDS

But it connected the sky opens your ears dumbfounded. First comment, it sounds perfect passive, regardless of the usual micro. Accuracy of a rare commodity, one reaches sounds very typical Jazz Bass but the sound is expected to end up with this micro precision: slamming, heavy and thick as the intelligence of a policeman. The mixture of the two, my favorite position, dare mix with an amazing result the best of both worlds: we end up with a whirring sound, very rock, a monstrous growl plus surgical precision. Add to this an overall dynamic balance and pafaite royal, imperial and even of all the strings.
The active electronics does not alter the sound of the bass like many active. Here, wood reigns supreme. In fact, it adds a punch devastating extra low striking and sensual flicker. To say that the sound is a killing is a no-brainer, it's a massacre, a genocide .... The sound is rock typed but lends itself to the many possible configuation, the investigation of multiple styles. Different from U.S. models, it has nothing, but nothing to envy in terms of quality. And this mail is terribly thought, she dares to modernize it so classy vintage sound that made us all guts one day ...

OVERALL OPINION

Fender is my fourth, my second accuracy. And this, I'll keep it. I'm sorry just do not have enough budget to buy now another .... I tried unsuccessfully to Lackland or models from G & L and the precision deluxe U.S., but I remained attached to the pearl in all that makes her look like the classic but in all that away from it. .. The value for money is fun because I will have paid more if he had been.
