The American Professional Precision Bass® draws from more than seventy years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today's working player.
The medium “C” profile neck sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. The new V-Mod III Precision Bass split-coil pickup is more articulate than ever while delivering the punch and growl the P Bass® is known for, while ClassicGear™ Precision™ Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper for effortless, reliable performance.
The American Pro Precision Bass delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you'll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.
V-Mod III Precision Bass pickups are modified versions of our classic vintage pickup designs. Packed with the fundamental Fender bass sound you know and love, these split-coil pickups deliver the vintage warmth, punch and clarity that made Fender a legend.
The American Professional III Precision Bass uses a modified '63 P Bass® neck profile — refined to be thicker at the 1st fret and thinner at the 12th fret for a more ergonomic playing experience. The Super-Natural satin finish on the back of the neck provides a smooth fret-hand feel complemented by rounded fingerboard edges.
All American Professional bass necks incorporate Posiflex™ graphite rods to reinforce against movement that can occur with fluctuations in the climate. Embedded beneath the fingerboard, they improve reliability on the road, in the studio or in your home.
This precision-manufactured bass bridge increases sustain and note definition thanks to its high-mass construction delivering improved attack and resonance at every fret position.
ClassicGear™ Precision™ Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper for effortless, reliable performance.
The rounded neck heel and beveled neck-plate improve access to the upper register and make leads easy and comfortable.
