Hello
I'm consider to buy a Fender Deluxe Precision Bass. Could anyone advice me if it's by some reason worth the money to buy an American Deluxe Precision Bass® instead of the Mexico made called Deluxe Active P Bass® Special?

My preferences are; I prefer the sond of a P-Bass rather than a J-bass but like the more narrow neck of the J-bass.

Build quality.

Fender's made in Mexico are pretty good these days but an American made Fender is much better.

If you like the neck on a jazz bass then You'd like the neck on the American Deluxe Precision Bass as it's not as thick as other P Bass necks ....... the only way to know if you'll like the neck on an American Deluxe P Bass is to try one, ........ I have the American Deluxe Jazz Bass 5 string & have played an American Deluxe P bass & they're nice instruments ...... there was a buzz issue with some of the N3 pickups but Fender has fixed this issue & even did a recall to replace faulty N3 Pickups ......... I actually played a 2012 American Deluxe Jazz 4 string at my local music store last week & it was dead quiet, no buzz ....this was good to hear as it was a hot topic here on the Fender Forum boards.......
