Originally released by Fender® in 1951, the Precision Bass® was a groundbreaking invention that allowed the bassists of the day to enjoy the fretted precision and amplified volume that their upright basses lacked, quickly making it the go-to foundational instrument chosen for countless landmark recordings.
Built to accompany players on their formative musical adventures, the Fender Standard Precision Bass delivers the approachable playability and inspiring tone that made Fender an icon of rock & roll. Powered by a Fender Standard pickup for versatile iconic tone and an inviting “Modern C”-shaped neck for superior playing comfort, this P Bass® truly sets the standard for the Fender experience.
