Originally released by Fender® in 1951, the Precision Bass® was a groundbreaking invention that gave bassists the fretted precision and amplified volume their upright basses lacked. It quickly became a foundational instrument chosen for countless landmark recordings.
Built to accompany players on their formative musical adventures, the Fender Standard Precision Bass delivers the approachable playability and inspiring tone that made Fender an icon of rock & roll. Its Fender Standard ceramic split single-coil P Bass pickup is designed for high-output, authentic Fender tone with versatile response for a wide range of musical directions. The inviting “Modern C”-shaped maple neck has a smooth satin back finish for comfortable performance across almost any playing style, while the 9.5"-radius fingerboard supports the instrument’s accessible feel.
The poplar body features a gloss finish, and the 4-saddle bridge is fitted with steel saddles in a satin chrome finish for a smooth feel.
