Call me crazy...

Post by nukebass »

but I am really liking this Precision bass, especially the one with the maple neck:

I've been wanting a P-bass for a while, but I already have too much stuff. I'd have to sell (at least) one of my basses to get it. Has anyone seen or played one of these yet?

OK, you're crazy!
:twisted:

Looks nice, but don't sell a Rick to get it...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Ryan, I like this rich looking finish. It reminds me of George Harrison's rosewood Tele and also a bit like the Rickenbacker walnut finish. This is an attractive bass.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

I haven't seen this specifically Ryan, but the current American Standards are REALLY good basses.

I'm glad I have a Precision bass. There's times when nothing else will do.

My 2030 is prettier and more fun to play, but I found a P with a narrow nut and slender neck that gives me no problems at all, so I'm good to go if I need it.
All I wanna do is rock!
