Bass—it’s where rhythm meets melody, creating a righteous groove that moves you. The Fender Precision Bass is the original electric bass that revolutionized music. As music evolves, so does this legendary instrument, culminating in the American Professional Precision Bass—the modern embodiment of a classic.
When it debuted in 1951, the Precision Bass was a game-changer, allowing bassists to play with perfect intonation and be heard in any band setting. From funk to rock, hip-hop to reggae, the Precision Bass has shaped the music we love with its thunderous tone.
Designed by Michael Bump, the new V-Mod split-coil pickup blends alnico magnet types for a balanced tone with authentic Fender sonic DNA. The ’63 P Bass neck profile provides a comfortable grip, while narrow-tall frets ensure smooth playability and precise intonation. Posiflex™ graphite rods reinforce the neck for added stability, and the redesigned fluted tuners enhance sustain and tuning precision.
A fusion of vintage style and modern innovation, the American Professional Precision Bass is Fender’s latest electric inspiration. Step up and claim your place in bass history.
