Yes, Ensenada is in Mexico. It's the location of Fender's factory in that country. I like to buy USA Fenders on the used market. For me, that gets the most value for the dollar.
I`d take the Player for 900 less. I`ve had vintage Fenders with that stupid truss adjustment and I am done. Since I`m now old I just record at home with short scale (light) basses and I have better sound than ever. Nice job on that sir.
HI Bob! I have a 75fifth anniversary Professional series PBass built in the middle of the pandemic. This feels like a handmade bass! It kills with flats or round wounds. I would say the The American will over time and now be the best choice.
I have owned a couple of Pro II basses. There is nothing wrong with them. Great craftmanship. But I sold them. I now have a MM player II with a Lollar pickup and it really is a great bass. My bass is flawless, it plays great and sound amazing.
I just bought American Pro 2 V string P Bass, rosewood neck, sunburst body tortoise shell pick guard. Got it new in box just under $1500. Played the Player II MIM. It really did nothing for me. For me it was worth the extra $$
Hey Memphis Mike, sounds like you got a great deal! It's all about the connection you feel with an instrument. I've heard it said that the instrument chooses you. I think that there's a lot of truth to that.
@@BobBlackBass yes sir i have heard that said as well! Strangely guitar center has same Bass different color…they wanted $1499 Used. I almost bought it, but if spending that much, it had to be the color combo i wanted. I felt very lucky to find the base at the price i did from a dealer!
Another great demo video Bob thank you. I actually got the American pro11 in exactly the same colour black also with the maple fret board last year before that I had and still have a mim player not the 11 in tide pool colour also with a maple fret board in my opinion the American pro11 is a far superior bass, I suppose that iis reflected in the price but I now intend to do a few different modifications on the mim player just as a hobby, project.I do agree about the truss rod being a bit awkward on the American pro11.
@@BobBlackBass yeah Bob I feel now that I have the American pro11, it will be a bit of fun to file the edges of the frets a little, maybe put in new pick ups and possibly changing to flats, I would have more confidence working on the player now that is a pretty much my second bass after seeing some bass modifications on RU-vid. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment.
