The precision A/E is my favorite to play out with. It has a set of piezos under a bone bridge and a balance control to blend between the p-bass pickup and the bridge. The fretboard is rosewood and not that hard so I use tape wound round wounds, they sound great. For a Japanese Fender it is very nice. It gets really close to the sound of the upright. They only made them a couple years and they were not that expensive. I got mine used for around $800. I have a 67 p-bass my dad gave me that is also pretty cool, great for a blues gig but almost too valuable to take out anymore. The Alembic is nice but over-rated. The Carvins are well...Carvins...cheap and effective. The tele bass is so heavy that it is essentially useless, I have just had it a long time (bought new in 72). The other p-bass is an original lined fretless 69 that I also got new (Christmas present from my dad).
