PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

We're proud to present this awesome Fender American Professional II Precision Bass! This one's in a slick Mercury with a rosewood fretboard.

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!

V-MOD II PICKUP

V-Mod II Precision Bass pickups are modified versions of our classic vintage pickup designs. Packed with the fundamental Fender bass sound you know and love, these split-coil pickups deliver the vintage warmth, punch and clarity that made Fender a legend.

NEW SCULPTED NECK HEEL

The rounded neck heel and beveled neck-plate improve access to the upper register and make leads easy and comfortable.

HIMASS™ VINTAGE BRIDGE

This precision manufactured string-through or top load bridge adds sustain, resonance and improved attack thanks to a cold-rolled steel baseplate, high mass brass backstop, and chrome-plated brass saddles.

’63 P BASS® NECK PROFILE

Considered by many to be the gold standard of bass neck profiles, American Professional II Precision Bass guitars use the ‘63 P Bass® neck profile. The Super-Natural satin finish on the back of the neck provides a smooth fret-hand feel complimented by rounded fingerboard edges.

POSIFLEX™ GRAPHITE RODS

All American Professional bass necks incorporate Posiflex graphite rods to reinforce against movement that can occur with fluctuations the environment. Embedded beneath the fingerboard, they improve reliability on the road, in the studio or in your home.

TAPERED-SHAFT TUNING MACHINES

Wider at the top than the bottom, the tapered shafts force the string windings downward and keep them tight, resulting in a sharper and consistent break angle over the nut, creating increased sustain and better tuning stability.
