General
Fender's Precision Bass, or P bass, was the first commercially successful electric bass guitar and despite being first introduced in 1951, it's still as popular as ever. Its simple design and solid sound are just two of the things that have helped to make this model the choice of many bassists. This Precision Bass is from Fender's American Professional series essentially replaces the American Standard series and while it's pretty much the same classic model, it's been given a few modern features that take it to the next level.
American Pro Precision: Neck, Frets and Machine Heads
For many, the '63 P Bass neck profile that this model sports is the ultimate type for this sort of bass due to its excellent balance between playability and sound. There are 20 narrow, tall frets so that less pressure is needed to hold a note and the intonation is improved. The neck is reinforced with two Posiflex graphite rods that enhance the tuning stability further and the redesigned machine heads have a fluted shaft which also adds to stability and extra sustain.
HiMass & V-Mod
While there are many types of bridges, Fender developed the HiMass Vintage bridge for this bass. It may look similar to a classic bridge, but it has more mass, which gives it more stability and sustain to go with its vintage sound. The new Fender V-Mod pickup is based on Fender's classic vintage pickups but uses a mix of Alnico magnets that results in a warm, edgy sound with plenty of output. This Fender American Pro Precision Bass Black MN comes with an Elite Molded Case by Fender so that you can take this beautiful instrument with you wherever you go.
