At 0:16 in this video, Jeremy shows off his '71 P Bass.

"When I played the P-Basses and Rickenbackers on Nightmare, I felt like that was getting closer to the tone I want to get. I wanted the percussive low end of a StingRay humbucker blended with the classic P-Bass clunk and Rickenbacker growl. For six months, Schecter and I went through six or seven different pickup combinations before finally trying an EMG 81 guitar pickup in the neck position. When we tried it, we knew we had what I was looking for. With a blend knob to roll from one pickup to the next, the bass has a really broad sound, from pianistic clarity to distorted growl. Right up the middle gets the sound I generally want. After 60 years of the electric bass, so much of it is all the same; it’s cool to be pushing some boundaries and trying new things."

I picked this one up and it felt the best so I bought it. It has since been my main ax. I had a BadAss bridge put on and I had the nut and bridge at the E-string cut to fit a low B-string. In Fantomas I string it B-E-A-D, but for everything else I use regular tuning. Somewhere along the line I decided to start putting butterfly stickers on it--maybe out of contrast to the music I was playing. So, I call this my Butterfly Bass." – Trevor Dunn on his 1975 Fender Precision, from the [GEEKING OUT](http://www.trevordunn.net/geek.html) section of his official website.

Andy Hummel used a Fender Precision Bass with a maple fretboard throughout his time with Big Star. >"A little after we returned to Memphis I traded my Gibson in for a new, sunburst Fender Precision Bass (I believe they call them P-basses these days) with a maple fretboard. This must have been late 1970 or so. Chris and I were obsessed with the sound John Entwhistle got out of his bass and heard him say the words “Rotosound Strings” on one of the songs on “Who Sellout”. We figured he must be talking about guitar strings and, sure enough, I went out and found some. Of course Rotosounds were all round wound in those days – may still be – and no one I had ever heard of used them except Entwhistle. I put them on the Fender, turned the treble way up, and that was the sound. This became my primary bass throughout the Big Star years, and other folks’ at Ardent too for that matter. " - Andy Hummel, 2007

"I play a 1976 Fender Precision bass with a maple neck that I acquired in a drum shop in Greenville, South Carolina for $700. I talked him down from $900 because they obviously had no idea what they had. It was in bad shape so I did had to fix it up a bit. I guess it was owned by some guy who played at his church in the mountains every Sunday. But he just played acoustic bass, so the electric just sat in his closet for twenty years or something. So that’s kind of like my baby. I use D’Addario Chrome Flatwounds on that," says Michael League, in [this interview](http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2014/02/13/from-the-ground-up-an-interview-with-michael-league/).

"I feel like when listening to the records it is easy to see who I have been influenced by throughout the years. Bands like the Melvins, Neurosis, and Godflesh are obvious choices but some unexpected ones might be Neil Young, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Portishead, Wu Tang, Madvillain, Quasimoto, Adrian Young and Mark Lanegan. That siad, I do feel like if it wasn’t for my experience playing with Cave In that I would never have been able to accomplish Zozobra. Those guys helped me develop a skill set that enabled me to be able to go out and do my own thing and feel confident about it."

Or I guess the dirty bottom that a P Bass has. It’s got a round clear bottom but… I think every song we play a different bass, it’s not like we record with P Basses the whole time, so I think it just depends on getting as close to the sound that we achieved on the record.” Around 1:26 into the video you can see a shot of him playing a Fender Precision Bass in what appears to be an Olympic White color.

The Precision Bass (often shortened to "P-Bass") is a bass guitar manufactured by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. In its stock configuration the Precision Bass is a solid body, four-stringed instrument equipped with a single split-coil humbucking pickup and a one-piece, 20 fret maple neck with rosewood or maple fingerboard. Its prototype, designed by Leo Fender in 1950, was brought to market in 1951,[1] the first electric bass to earn widespread attention and use, remaining among the best-selling and most-imitated electric basses with considerable effect on the sound of popular music ever since. The Standard P-Bass is sanded, painted and assembled in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico along with the other Standard Series guitars. Fender also produces Precision and Precision/Jazz basses in its Squier line of products.
