The Fender Precision Bass, known as "P-bass" for short, is the first model of the electric bass designed by Clarence Leonidas Fender and brought to market in 1951. The Precision Bass was the first mass-produced and commercially successful electric bass and is arguably the best selling electric bass of all time.
The new model American Series Precision Bass is better than ever! The new S-1™ switching system makes this an extremely versatile bass that gives players an array of cool new sounds, and it comes in some fantastic new colors and finishes!
Features include a solid alder or ash body (depending on color) and graphite-reinforced, modern C-shaped maple neck with satin polyurethane finish (available with maple or rosewood fingerboard). With the S-1 system, you can switch the split single-coil pickup from series to parallel, giving the bass a brighter, snappier tone similar to that of a Jazz Bass guitar.
Vintage cool meets modern engineering, Awesome.
