New bass day! Fender American professional II precision bass

Unboxing my new Fender American professional II precision bass.
*Regarding what I said about the first bass I ordered. I understand that neck shims are a common thing. I just feel like that should be done at the factory before the bass is sent to the customer. Especially at this price point. Thank you. Please continue trolling me.

Nice color! My first Precision bass is a 2014 American Standard in that very same color ... my current #1 ... Such a classic look. Congrats (1 year late!). Cheers!!!

[@Stratboy999]

You're a funny bugger, Darren. Good to see you, and nice to see you have treated yourself to something nice. That is a sweet looking P Bass.

[@DarrenLikesDanger]

Thamks man! Hope you're well

[@Capitan_Chaos]

This just popped up in my feed. I ordered one from sweetwater too and it arrived Sunday with perfect action and it plays like butter.

[@DarrenLikesDanger]

Nice! They really did a good job on mine

[@levintt]

I was looking to buy a P bass and since this was going to be my 3rd bass, I took my time to look for one that I liked. Every time I tried the American pro 2s, I kept finding issues. The Mexican ones never seemed to have those issues. Last week I picked up a player ll P bass and have been happy.

[@TheKorfish]

Good to see you're alive and well. Awesome Bass btw.

[@DarrenLikesDanger]

Thank you broseph

I'll never forget the time you taught me to be a badass bass player. Good to see you

Haha thanks

@@DarrenLikesDanger may I ask why I can't find that video anymore?

[@DarrenLikesDanger]

@@thegreatboppilini9006 I took it down because many people couldn't understand that it was supposed to be a joke and I didn't want to deal with the trolling anymore.

@@DarrenLikesDanger that video was gold back in the day, I'd kill for a reupload maybe with disabled comments? Thank you for explaining something you didn't have to.

[@MARKLINMAN1]

Man soooooo glad you are still around, i got back to playing sax but still love THE BASS, AND your channel is always THE BEST! Freakin stoked you are still doing it!

[@DarrenLikesDanger]

Thanks man I really appreciate that

He’s back and better than ever. More content!!!

[@pCeLobster]

holy shit he's back

[@corpsekrusher]

I wish I was a guitar shaped vampire. I would sleep in that plush case

[@jandenijs7337]

I like what you've done to the room, nice minimalistic approach

[@ML-nj4qi]

Just picked one up today for $700. He bought it during the pandemic thinking he would learn it but lost interest quick and sat the case in his garage.

[@NoUseForAName0626]

Wow!! That's awesome!! Looks like you posted your comment 4 months ago.. So now that you've had it for a while, what's your opinions on it? (If you don't mind sharing lol) I have a 2001 American Fender Hot Rod PJ-BASS... Which is unbelievable.. I've been curious about these Pro 2 Basses.. I'm pretty sure I'll eventually get one as well.. 🤘

[@TheKyleNelson]

beautiful bass. hope you keep going. really dig your stuff.

[@robertmethia7080]

I am very glad that I watched this video. I was on the fence to buy one, now I just fell off that fence. too much money for junk. not worth the risk, thanks!

[@r.l.rachel740]

" LOVE " your honesty ! Fender Qyality Control should be ashamed, better yet replaced. Note: Failed Americian business strategy: Save a nickel ( By being cheap ) lose a dollar ( Lose sales then go bankrupt ).

[@oldguyplaysbass6503]

NBD should be a national holiday! Cheers!

[@Jmartin68]

I have this exact model bass. 2 weeks before I bought an Am Pro 2 P in Dark Night with the rosewood fretboard. Honestly i have other cheaper basses i like better

[@jun1217xb4]

Wow. Where have you been? Glad you are back.

[@DarrenLikesDanger]

Still playing, just not for the camera much these days.

[@Pudsy440]

Awesome, congratulations!

[@curtrod]

you're a good dude man, and I like your playing, peace brother

[@NoUseForAName0626]

Very nice man Congrats!! Sounds as good as it looks too!! 🤘

[@simplecountrydrummer]

Not the first video I have seen with issues on that bass or other USA Fender guitars. I have decided to build one from a kit with 1 piece mahogany body, a roasted maple neck with stainless frets on rosewood no inlays and luminlay side markers. I will just do a natural oil rub finish on it and a wood or leather covered pickguard.

[@paultraynorbsc627]

Great Bass

[@Barcarus]

Hey man, i have been following your channel for over a decade now and just realized that you may have been "the guy from the video" that made me start getting into bass after thinking about it for a while. have you ever had some tutorial stuff on bass up? i am looking for that video so much. was a guy drinking pabst blue ribbon and said something like "you must hold your bass like gozilla spraying fire" or something like that. is that you maybe? :D regards!

[@DarrenLikesDanger]

Haha yes that was me. Unfortunately I finally had to take down those videos because so many people didn’t get the joke. I was getting trolled by angry Karens for years. Anyway thanks for the support and keep rocking!

[@Barcarus]

@@DarrenLikesDanger awesome dude! Any way to have a chat outside of YT maybe?

[@jamesreynolds4487]

It’s resonate I wonder what’s the weight of the overall bass

[@dumaflotchy13]

SWEET … 😄

[@Draymondp]

Beauty. What make flats are those? Sounds great.

[@DarrenLikesDanger]

Fender light gauge flats. They’re great.

[@flukyreview9128]

Yes but how does it sound with slap?

[@Walkthewater]

How do you like it?

[@Gekichopper22]

What kind of flatwounds are you using? I've been playing for about 12 years, and I've never tried them before so I'm curious.

[@DarrenLikesDanger]

I use fender stainless steel light gauge flats. They changed my life. They have to be light gauge though. That’s very important.

[@torrmark]

What happened to your Mexican P Bass ?

[@DarrenLikesDanger]

Nothing. I still have it.

[@HootsFloppyJoints]

Start posting originals again homie
