Fender American Professional II Precision Bass, Maple Fingerboard, Black

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

We're proud to present this awesome Fender American Professional II Precision Bass! This one's in a classic Black finish with a maple fingerboard.

If you're looking for top-shelf quality, unrelenting reliability, stellar playability and legendary tone, look no further than a flagship USA-made Fender bass. The modern contours and the familiar '63 neck shape are a timeless combination that remains the gold standard to this day.

The V-Mod split-coil pickup takes vintage tone to the next level, adding a contemporary edge to even better cover any style of music - Rock, Blues, Funk, Punk, Motown, Jazz, Reggae etc.... it does it all. How it can go from covering the softest of styles to being able to cover heavy genres is remarkable. Fender really combined the right amounts of tightness and thump with vintage clarity.

This is a killer bass that sets the bar in the bass world, and it is destined to be your end-all, be-all instrument at home, in the studio and at the gig!
