USE

The Precision is my favorite bass, but I only play 5-strings and the 5-string PBs are real logs!!
I wanted to combine the sound of the PB with the playability of my Vigier.
I found the solution by modifying the neck of a 4-string PB, which now has the exact same dimensions as my 5-string Vigier.
The result is perfect for me. It's a very characteristic and versatile bass at the same time.
It's perfectly balanced and has an excellent playability.
There's no need to linger on the description, everybody knows what a PJ is.

SOUND

All soundclips were recorded directly into the soundcard, without any processing.
At first I play the PB pickup, then PB+JB, and then only the JB

OVERALL OPINION

I've used it for a couple of days only.
I'll update my review once I've played it longer.
This bass has completely seduced me, both in terms of sound and looks.
