Fantastic bass guitar

This, 3,8 kg Fender Precision bass is as it should be. I found it online at https://www.captain-koerg.de I received the bass in perfect condition although it is 28 years old :-)))

Fender's answer to the Music Man Stingray

This 4.4kg Precision bass was Fender's answer to the Music Man Stingray bass.It features active treble and bass controls and a switch that turns the bass into a classic passive Precision Bass. The Music Man was quite heavy in those days, which may be the reason why Fender chose relatively heavy wood for this series.

The sound of the Special is very flexible, and the treble control is far less " aggressive " than the Stingray

Fantastic Precison bass from 2001

It is pretty ight weight and is woderful to play. I changed the original white pickguard to a metal pickguard to pimp the look

Great pleasure to play

I always wanted to have this bass in this finish. It plays great, sounds a little different from the maple neck Precisions: more brightness, a little less mids, but solid fundament. Very good tuning machines and easy access to the trussrod

Professional sound module, 64 voices

I use it only for traveling by plane to replace the heavy Moog Taurus 3 - it works in combination with a Roland FC-200

Low weight bass pedal

I use it in cases of travelling by air in combination with a Roland JV2020. It is a kind of low weight Moog Taurus, but it works

Excellent Precision Bass with special laquer finish and d-tuner

Excellent Precision Bass with special laquer finish with mother-of-pearl effect and d-tuner. The bass features the classic Precision Sound. I have put on slightly softer strings (040 - 100). This makes it very easy to play in Drop-D without it sounding thin

Perfect 5-string bass

I already had some 5-strings (Lag, Rickenbacker, Framus Double Neck with 12-string, Warwick Thumb 5, Fender Jazz Bass). The Sting Ray 5 is the most comfortable of all. It's not too-heavy and plays great. I have it since 1995, but I've hardly used it for years - what a shame! I use it with regular steel strings (045 - 125)

Perfect Precision with pickup switch

You can switch between humbucker and single coil pick which give you the choice between standard precision sound and a more hifi kind of sound

Beatiful Bass Guitar

This Ibanez Jet King is a very underestimated and inexpensive bass, made in China.

Although it does not feel as comfortable as a Fender Precision Bass this bass offers a variety of cool sounds and plays wonderful. It is less than 4 kg and I prefer it for rehearsing with extra light strings (040-100)

Fantastic bass guitar

It might be the thin laquer or the fine quality of selected wood what makes this 3,7 kg bass the best Precision of my collection - awesome! I find it somewhat annoying that the poorly visible fret markings on the side of the neck have also been taken over from the past. You have to use a marker to help you when you have to expect darkness on stage

Reliable Wireless Guitar System

I have it now for a couple of years. When I bought a second transmitter I had some action in updating the old package to the new software.

Just like an old Strat

Some times I play guitar on stage. That's why I wanted to have a Strat. The guitar is good, but I found better Stratocasters in the past, especially some Custom Shop models or some really fine adjusted guitars which cost a lot more. Mine plays and sounds great and fits my needs.

Great feel, great tone

I had the chance to buy on e of the first production. Real good bass guitar

I use it as a DI box mainly

A terrible device, but it works well as a DI box. The operation is unfortunately cumbersome. The tuner is crap. After all it has an expression pedal, which I use for volume.

Professional InEar System

The PSM300 does its job without any problems. Low noise and low power consumption. Unfortunately a bit expensive: The original Shure battery with charger.

Long neck

The bass sounds good and has a very good tuning stability. Low battery consumption. Criticism: The neck is rather long and the tuner button reacts a bit tricky

Perfect 12-string for "Wish You Were Here"

This guitar fits my needs perfectly. Very good action, reliable tuning. Very low battery consumption. Sometimes the tuner switch is a bit tricky, but works after several tries.

What a Jazz Bass

Usually I prefer the Precision bass guitars, but I could not resist buying this awesome instrument from 1969. It features candy apple red nitro laquer and rosewood fingerboard

Perfect Bass Cabinet

This bass speaker sounds great if you tend towards a more distorted sound. I'm primarily a pick bassist and used to regularly kill tweeters of many brands (SWR, Trace Elliot). The QS410's neodymium speakers are first class coax speakers, and the speaker weighs just 33 kg.

Unfortunately, the tolex is almost completely worn off after more than 500 gigs.
