PRecision
The original and greatest, nothing - and I mean nothing - beats the classic woody thump of the P-Bass with flats. Probably my favourite intstrument to play, it’s a veteran of many gigs from community festivals, funk, country and rock, always brings the soul. I’m immensely proud of this thing.
