Yesterday I bought a Fender Player II Precision Bass and can't wait to get it. I already have the Fender Player II Jazz Bass with flatwounds... just awesome. I just fell in love with the Fender sound.
@@funkymonk816 I just checked songs...and yes...sounds like it. Fender Precision was that sound in the old days. Fender also made the first bass with frets, that was 1951, so bassplayers could for the first time play precisely, thats why the name precision. 🙂 Already got my Fender P and I just love it 🙂 And flats have just been normal for Fender in the 60s, rounds came 10 years later.
I just bought one of these the other day and I love it. It's a blue one with a maple fingerboard. I went in most excited to try out one of the ones with a rosewood fingerboard, but after trying out the four different examples they had in stock I just liked the feel of the neck on the one that I chose the best. Moa's dad is right. "You don't pick your bass. The bass picks you."
@@alexdenton6586In fairness, if it ain't broke don't fix it...and every time they try something new it falls flat on its face. Remember the dimension bass? Anybody using a meteora?
@@jasondorsey7110 They really do. I actually have the same exact bass as in the video above except mine is a Player l. The only difference is the maple is lighter in color on mine. Although I like the darker maple on the new Players, the light maple with a black and white bass looks great!
The color choices for all of the new Player ll guitars and basses are kind of lame in my opinion, with a few exceptions. If they plan on keeping the Player ll line around for a while, they should definitely release a few more options.
@@glenny5081 I had a bandmate from years ago who got that exact guitar and played it exclusively. Dark Red Fender Stratocaster, black pickgaurd and rosewood fretboard. I remember when he showed me I was like, "That's...kind of ugly." He was like "What?!" I personally just don't like the color combo. Replace the black pickguard with a white one, or better yet, get a maple fretboard instead of rosewood, and it would look fine. But something about the red, black, with the rosewood combo seems like such a bland choice to me, like the guitar had no personality. Everyone's different. I'm sure some people think the exact opposite of me. But I remember thinking to myself, "He had so many color options and thats the one he went with? Weird. I don't get it."
Wait she said she was going strictly direct but she showed that she was plugged into the Helix board so I guess she is actually getting the actual sound from the Helix, not an actual direct from the Fender!!!!
what are your thoughts on the Player II P-Bass? Let us know in the comments! 👇
Looks and sounds exactly like the player I 🤷🏻♂️
Where are the lefties?!
I’m happy with the rolled fretboard edges and rosewood. But since I just bought a Player I on clearance, I’ll wait.

Does it get good Jamerson motown sound with the flatwounds?

Can't beat a Fender with a maple fretboard!
I play guitar but I’ve dabbled with bass. I’ve tried several, but the P-bass is the one that spoke to me. Glad I waited for these player 2 to buy one.
Sounds good, looks good. A solid p bass.
Would love to hear a demo with flatwounds so we can hear how it does with James Jamerson/Pino Palladino tone
Leo Fender got his design perfect from the get go. No point changing it now.
there is nothing quite like that picked p bass sound
It's awesome that she mentions Steve Harris, but he doesn't just play the P- Bass he Gallops it!
Biggest change (available rose wood board instead of pau ferro) isn't even mentioned? Kinda strange.
Eh, I prefer maple boards so it doesn't really matter. 🤷♂
Do you think they will also sell the guitar necks individually?
What riff is it? 0:00
Need more left handed options!!
did the Player 1 have rolled edges?
No
❤
What’s new about it?
Almost nothing

Rolled fingerboard edges and real rosewood, if you don’t choose maple.
@@NoMoreMrNice Some of those colors look so much nicer with maple anyway

yep, it's a p-bass.

Birch green with the maple fretboard looks great! But it would be nice if you could choose between maple or rosewood on any body color.
The red with the black pickguard and rosewood board is 🔥
