    NBD - Fender MIM Precision Special!

    I just acquired a beautiful, well cared for, 2000-2001 Precision Bass Special. I think it is the best of both worlds between a P and J style bass: P-style body, J neck, P pickups and J bridge pickup. Three controls: two volume controls and one master tone control. This one is red with rosewood fretboard and gold-anodized aluminum pickguard. It's very similar to the newer Fender Precision Deluxe Bass, but mine has passive pickups.

    Tonight I debut it with the band.

    OK, finally remembered how to post photos here. This is a photo pulled from the craigslist ad taken by the seller:

    nice. I'm trying to find a reasonably inexpensive J neck for my p-bass body build. My first neck was a precision special but it went all wonky on me after I strung it up and the truss rod is kaput. At this point, I'm just about ready to toss in the towel and part out the body.
