Fender American Professional Precision Bass, Rosewood Fingerboard, 3-Color Sunburst

For over 70 years the Precision bass has held down the low end – inspiring generations of musicians. The Fender American Professional series returns with a broad range of improvements and sonic upgrades like the V-Mod III pickups. Back and better than ever, we have this Fender American Professional Precision Bass finished in 3-Color Sunburst – made with the demands of today's players in mind.

True to the timeless tone recipe, the P gets its contoured double-cutaway body from an alder body paired with a bolt-on maple neck. The body sports a traditional 3-color sunburst finish and is further adorned with nickel/chrome hardware and a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard. Joining the body around the 15th fret, the bolt-on maple neck provides smooth playability with its modified '63 P Bass neck profile, rounded fingerboard edges, and satin finished back. Supporting the neck from the inside out, Posiflex graphite rods inside the neck reinforce against movement that occurs from fluctuations in climate. The P's upper register is easily accessible thanks to the sculpted neck heel, a returning feature in the American Professional line. The neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard and is crowned with 20 narrow tall frets and sports white dot fingerboard inlays.

For a vintage-inspired sonic voice, a single V-Mod III Split Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup located in the middle position provides all the low-end punch the P is known for. New to the American Professional series, the V-Mod III is a modified version of classic Fender's design, but with added clarity and definition. Electronics are wired to ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers – delivering smooth, consistent control with custom torque. Tone can be explored with the volume and tone controls. A high quality HiMass Pro bridge anchor strings down in either a string-through or top-load fashion and then are nested in the bone nut slots, and are tuned to pitch with Fender Lightweight Vintage-Style tuning keys with tapered shafts. The P is accompanied by a deluxe molded case for safe keeping at home or on the go.

A new standard for bass players everywhere, the American Professional Precision Bass is ready to become your new favorite workhorse bass.
