Feature:
S-1 switch is really a waste of time. I just don’t use it. Good improvements over the original P basses; better bridge, graphite reinforced neck, neck contour and width at the nut that accomodate more modern styles. I would have liked nickel plated hardware.

Quality:
frets are rough at the edges. rosewood board has a flaw at the butt of the neck, pickguard was not well cut and was scratched, strap screw pulled out of body. That said, I still trust it to be road worthy.

Value:
worth it because of tone, playability and resale. Just feels correct in my hands. I am old school.

Desirability:
It’s a Fender. I still think it’s one of the best sounding basses, even compared to much more expensive instruments.

Sound:
very organic, good punch. Not at all "electric" sounding. Suitable for most types of music from jazz to rock. My #1 go to bass without question.

Ease of Use:
plug and play. Tone control allows for good variation of the p bass sound.

Support:
never could get the correct replacement pickguard. Fender is just too big and one hand does not know what the other is doing.

Overall:
I have other instruments but the Precision is still my "go to" bass.
