Looks exactly like this one. Jazz width neck, preamp sounds pretty good, I've heard worse. It cuts through the guitar and keys quite easily.
I was contemplating getting a Geddy Jazz so I was at GC trying some used ones out and saw this used Precision on the wall above me. It was twice the bass of a Geddy for a lot cheaper. Got it for $445, put some DR Hibeams on it and gave it a quick setup. Sounds great in the band mix, I like it also and right now its become the #1 bass. I am considering the Hipshot replacements for the tuners, otherwise it's fine.

That sure is purty, nice score !

Congrats
looks like it's got active electronics? I had a P special almost some years back but it was passive. If I remember the body is a little smaller than a regular P bass.

Body appears to be regular sized and it is active.

The Geddy has a super thin neck and a thin sound to match. When Keith was stationed in Korea for a year, I had his here and never could get a decent J sound out of it (IMHO).
The P looks nice, and you'll find another J that speaks to you.

Cool congratulations!
I have seen this bass in red some times and the only think I dislike a bit is the pick guard. I love the gold anodized ones, but not this gold on plastic. Why didn't they fit a normal aluminium one?
But nice bass!!

Agreed about the PG. Described as "vinyl" on the Fender site. It looks....OK, it's livable.
Dave, I had a GL for a short time when I moved to Florida and I must reinterate "short" time, for the same reasons you describe. I NEVER got it feeling like my bass no matter how I set it up.

Great deal if it's US made! I paid $750 for my Hot Rod P!
Congratulations, Ray!

It's from the Ensenada factory-the truss rod should have given it away! lol Still muy bueno! :mrgreen:
