«  a dream come true »

a fender precision, what
massive bridge, wide enough to handle casual stroll
simple and effective: 1 microphone, 2 knobs
absolutely passive, that's what I've been waiting a long time, having been disappointed by a deluxe active: heavy, complicated for its ultimately not very convincing

UTILIZATION

handle not so broad as you might imagine on a 5 string precision
Perfect ergonomics: the immutable standard
barely heavier version V: the body has the same dimensions as the IV, the handle is obviously larger, but the mechanics are reduced.
In short it is not a dead donkey to carry, far from it
Access to acute a precision: not great but it is not there to play the mandolin either ...
For sound, we branch, we play, that's all
well settled, it is for me the perfect sound, one that provides all the music, which crosses the mix without hacking.

SOUNDS

it is suitable for all styles I practice: chanson, rock, jazz, reggae.
slap is not the standard of marcus miller is round, warm, organic, aggressive if pressed, short is expressive in all styles of play
I play on markbass, Ampeg and Gallien Krueger sometimes live sound via a SansAmp.
The sound is full, thick in the bass, sometimes a little too much in places acoustics confused. For that, a little secret: équalo parametric artec (-to 40 euros) which allows just eliminate the frequency running.
I love all his sounds since there is only one: the right one for me.
In fact, due to its expressiveness, it has all the sounds he suggests that the fingers play. The sound is convaicant franc. I mounted flat spun GHS: hi roger W!
However, attention to adjusting the height of the pickups for a good if serious

OVERALL OPINION

It's been six months since I play and it put into touch with all my other basses
I played almost all over 30 years, 4, 5 and 6 string, with a consequent detour to music man, noguera, yamaha and Vigier. I always came back to the fender concept, and this one is THE good.

Its strengths: sound, ergonomics, versatility, reliability, authenticity
The dream for 1000 bullets ...
Probably a final choice
