Vladimir, according to several interviews with Gene, he used a Fender Precision briefly (with Bullfrog Bheer, I think...maybe very early Wicked Lester?), but never used them again simply because he didn't like the way Fender's characteristic asymmetrical double cutaways looked. Gene only likes and uses basses with symmetrical double cutaways. Strange, but apparently true.
