Classic Design & Construction
The body is crafted from poplar, offering a balanced and resonant tone with excellent sustain. The rich Walnut finish gives it a vintage yet refined look, complemented by a black pickguard that adds a bold contrast. The "C"-shaped maple neck with a vintage-tinted gloss finish enhances the retro aesthetic and provides a smooth, comfortable playing experience.
The maple fingerboard (or Indian laurel, depending on the model) features 20 narrow-tall frets and black block inlays, reminiscent of the original '70s Precision Basses. Combined with the 9.5" fingerboard radius, this bass is ideal for both classic fingerstyle grooves and aggressive pick playing.
Signature Precision Bass Tone
At the heart of this bass is the Fender-designed alnico split-coil pickup, delivering the thick, punchy low-end and articulate mids that have defined the P-Bass sound for decades. Whether you want warm, rounded tones for jazz or punchy, aggressive attack for rock, this bass delivers with clarity and power. The single volume and tone control layout keeps things simple, allowing for easy tonal shaping on the fly.
