Why you SHOULDN'T play a P bass
8/21/2021
Let’s get this straight - the Fender Precision is the Holy Grail of bass guitar. All the ‘best’ ones were made in the 50s and 60s, but they’ve barely changed since, and they are still used by heaps of top bass players the world over. In the immortal words of Spinal Tap’s Nigel Tufnel, “This is the top of the heap right here.”
But while some people consider the P Bass to be bass perfection, others might beg to differ. And during the course of today’s video, I’m going to run through my 5 pet peeves about the Fender P.
It's the world's go-to bass, and for good reason. But has the Fender Precision got enough to win me over?
As always, see you in the shed…
