General
If you're looking for an attractively-priced American Precision Bass, this one from Fender's American Performer series ticks all the right boxes. It has a split single-coil in the mid position as well as a Jazz Bass-style single-coil at the bridge. Both pickups are newly-developed Yosemite models that have flat staggered poles that deliver a higher output. They also have a shellac coating that prevents any problems with feedback.
The American Performer Precision Bass: Versatile Tone and Modern Features
Two volume controls mean you have a wider sound palette to work with than you get from most Precision basses. The tone potentiometer has a Greasebucket circuit that gives you more control over the higher frequencies too for more punch in your sound. Other notable features include the lightweight, vintage, paddle-style machine heads that have tapered shafts.
Instantly Comfortable
This P bass feels instantly comfortable in the hand thanks to its modern C profile neck and the 9.5-inch fretboard radius. The jumbo frets also add to its excellent playing comfort. A vintage-style bridge with 4 steel saddles complete the picture. The American Performer Precision Bass comes complete with a deluxe gig bag so that you can transport it and store it safely.
