Members Seeds Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Found one in my local shop and was really impressed. It played great, sounded fierce and was not very heavy. Sorry if this is old news but I never really considered this Bass before and was wandering whats new and upgraded on them.http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0136100332 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jazz Ad Posted February 7, 2007 Members Share Posted February 7, 2007 Ha, but they're American Precision Bass knobs. They sound much better than stock Mexican Precision Bass knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it'll sound better if you get some genuine, pre-CBS P-bass knobs. Time to hit up the eBay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they consider different knobs an upgrade, well......okayyy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless you have the pre-CBS pickguard screws along with them. You're just waisting your money without the screws. If you have them though, you're gold baby!

Actually the Butterscotch P was what I was looking for when I stumbled upon the Standard.The only thing I'm not sold on is the S-1 switch... had one on a Strat and hated the thing, although on a P there's a lot less fartin around to do with it (S-1).

Members frunobulax Posted February 7, 2007 Members Share Posted February 7, 2007 +1S1 switch on a P is pretty useless imho. i agree. what's the point. it's on a J-bass to make it sound more like a P. a P-bass can't sound any more like a P-bass than it already does. none more P.
