It is loved by countless top artists such as James Jemerson, Bobby Vega, and Michael League.
The Precision Bass was the world's first solid electric bass with frets, and quickly captivated bassists around the world.
More than half a century has passed since its birth, and it is still loved as much as ever.
This model is a 70's PB of Fender's top-of-the-line MBS series.
It was made by Jason Smith.
With its characteristic specs such as HIPSHOT bridge, Nordstrand PU, etc., at first I thought it was a big modification.
However, looking at his recent works, it seems that he likes to use the HIPSHOT bridge, so I assumed that this might be an original as well.
I could not be sure, so I sent him a direct message and asked him directly, and he replied that the approximate specs were original.
He told me that the model was almost an exact copy of the specs of his own base model that he uses in his private life, which makes a lot of sense.
However, looking at the past sales history, the PU was LACE, not Nordstrand.
This point has changed at least once, so it is hard to say whether it is original or not.
(It is possible that LACE was the original and was changed to Nordstrand, or it is possible that Nordstrand was the original and was changed back from LACE.)
The sound is characterized by a bouncy response, a moderate comp feel, and a powerful thumping sound.
The sound extends from low to high positions, and the playing comfort is like that of a high-end brand.
The more you play it, the more you realize that it is a good bass.
The basic quality of this bass is top of the line, and it is like a master builder's hobby.
It may be for enthusiasts, but it is a wonderful gem that can be a masterpiece in any field.
