And of course they were fretless. For smaller traveling bands it was a major hassle. Sometimes the bass player had to travel in a separate car just to travel from town to town. Leo turned the bass 90 degrees from upright to horizontal, gave it frets, AND electrified it! He claims the name "Precision" was because it was more precise than the fretless. Made it easier for almost any guitar player to play bass.
