From Phil Collins to Jackson Browne, Carole King to Toto, Lee Sklar’s sound and style have been heard and adored for decades, and that signature tone, developed in close collaboration with Fender, is now offered to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis iconic bass boasts a satin Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer natural finish on an alder body, showcasing the many stories of endless tours and long studio sessions. Smooth, with an already worn-in look and feel, this P Bass is primed for greatness. Delivering a balanced tone with natural resonance, this sustain machine is the perfect tonal palette for all genres and playing styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAttached to the body is a maple neck sporting a 1962 Jazz Bass “C” profile—an interesting appointment on a P Bass, but nonetheless functional, intuitive, and always comfortable. The slimmer nut width allows for further reaches, touting a unique back shape that Lee Sklar finds most approachable for his style of playing. Topping the neck is a 7.25\"-radius, round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. With its pronounced midrange and warm tone, this fingerboard is lined with low, sleek mandolin frets and marked with clay dot inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for the hardware, a BadAss II bridge boosts the sustaining capabilities while supporting steady, consistent tuning. The individually adjustable grooved saddles allow for a precise setup, ensuring comfort and intonation are always perfect. Further up the neck, a brass nut can be found to support intonation and maintain string spacing, while Gotoh reversed-open-gear tuning machines provide smooth and precise tuning. Additionally, a Hipshot VT3 Bass Xtender has been installed to perform instant drop tuning with the flip of a switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe signature treatment extends all the way to the pickup selection, offering dual EMG active Lee Sklar P pickups for high-output punch that never loses its clarity or full-bodied richness. With exceptional dynamic response and profound articulation, it’s no wonder Lee Sklar appointed and designed this set of pickups for his prolific instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoad-ready in a vintage-style tweed hardshell case, the Lee Sklar Precision Bass is ready to find a new home—one with a bassist who has the same drive and knack for bass songwriting and meticulous performance as the artist who created it. We think that person might be you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLee Sklar signature \"Frankenstein\" Precision bass guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlder body with Satin Heriloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaple neck in 1962 Jazz Bass \"C\" profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7.25\" round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with mandolin frets and clay dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBadass II bridge and brass nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGotoh reversed-open gear tuners with Hipshot BT3 Bass Xtender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual EMG active Lee Sklar P pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage-style tweed hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55630647853224,"sku":"0192710821","price":3499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/0192710821-fender-lee-sklar-precision-bass-rosewood-fingerboard-natural-1.png?v=1788293045","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/fender-lee-sklar-precision-bass-rosewood-fingerboard-natural","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
