Bass—it’s where rhythm meets melody, creating a righteous groove that forces you to move with it. Without the Fender Precision Bass, the original electric bass, dance floors everywhere would be empty. As music evolves, our instruments change in lockstep; the end result is today’s version of this seminal instrument—the American Professional Precision Bass.
The Precision Bass was a truly revolutionary instrument when it was released in 1951. Not only could bassists finally play with perfect intonation, they could be heard along with the rest of the band. From funk to rock, hip-hop to reggae; all of the music that’s enriched our lives began with the thunderous Precision Bass.
Developed by longtime bass pickup master Michael Bump, the brand-new V-Mod split-coil Precision Bass pickup uses a carefully selected blend of alnico magnet types for balanced tone with authentic Fender sonic DNA. The “golden” ’63 P Bass neck profile feels just right nestled in your hand, becoming one with you, while the narrow-tall frets provide a familiar playing feel and perfect intonation. Posiflex graphite support rods run the length of the neck, adding stability to the neck while resisting warping. The redesigned tuning machines use a fluted shaft, creating the optimum break angle over the nut while keeping the string windings tight for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability.
The best of yesterday and today, the American Professional Precision Bass is the latest form of electric inspiration from Fender. Step up and stake your claim to a legend. Includes hardshell case.

Several years ago I sold a left handed Precision Bass from the 60's. I never realized that I would regret it for the rest of my life. I have Carvin and Warwick basses and I recalled that my old Precision Bass was a heavy instrument. This bass is light and comfortable. The pickups have more range than Fender's I have played in the past. The relationship from bridge to keys provides for nice intonation. A well built instrument gives a musician confidence to 'take that risk'. Love it.Fender American Professional Left-Handed Precision Bass Rosewood Fingerboard 3-Color Sunburst
.Lefties don't have a lot of options, especially for a P bass, but this is one fantastic instrument. Even with the harsh shipping environment, the bass arrived setup quite well. Need to lower the action a little bit, but it plays great. Threw on a set of La Bella 760 FS strings, and I have that P bass sound! Stays in tune for days, pretty light, and the white with mint looks the business. The included case is awesome, no more gig bags! No regrets!

No matter what style of music you play, this bass will get the job done. You can keep your overpriced boutique basses with active pick-ups and variable EQ sweep knobs. Two knobs is all you need, and no batteries required. I'd bet a months salary that 99% of the American made Fender Precision Basses ever made are still being played, unless you're a bass squirrel and hide them in a safe somewhere. A working mans instrument, and a reliable defense weapon against drunk college kids. Thanks Leo!Fender American Professional Left-Handed Precision Bass Rosewood Fingerboard 3-Color Sunburst
