The Precision Bass, a Modernized Icon
Born from the first electric bass standards, the Precision has become the studio and stage reference. The American Professional II carries on this heritage with meticulous craftsmanship and targeted improvements for today's musicians: redesigned ergonomics, optimized electronics, and finishes designed for performance.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Versatile and immediate under the fingers, this P-Bass suits
intermediate to professional bassists seeking a reliable line both live and in the studio. Rock, pop, soul, funk, indie, blues, or urban music: its dense tone and responsive dynamics fit everywhere, from powerful rhythm sections to subtle grooves.
The Sound
The
V-Mod II Split Single-Coil pickup delivers the characteristic meaty midrange and "growl," with solid lows and clear highs. The simple
Volume/Tone controls provide a wide palette, from warm "tone rolled off" sounds to sharp "tone open" attack. The
alder body offers balance and projection, while the
HiMass Vintage bridge and string-through option increase sustain and definition. The
maple neck/rosewood fretboard combination adds warmth and natural note articulation.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered in a deluxe molded case, it thrives with a set of
34" / 864 mm long scale nickel-plated steel strings .045-.105 (equivalent to Fender 7250M original). Add a
wide strap for stage comfort, a quality
6.35 mm jack cable, and a
stable bass stand for security at home or in the studio.
