Fender American Standard Precision Bass Guitar with Case

The Fender American Standard Precision Bass delivers everything that made the original version the most sought-after bass in the world. Fender invented the electric bass guitar, introducing the Precision Bass in 1951. Its thick sound and indestructible build changed the face of popular music. New American Standard Precision basses are today’s versions of the great instruments of bass heroes past and present - the modern interpretations of our classic instrument, refined for today’s players. The new Fender American Standard Precision basses feature Fender's new high-mass vintage bridge, a thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance, new and improved Fender tuning keys that keep the classic look but are 30 percent lighter, a richer and deeper neck tint for a more elegant appearance, a great-looking glossed maple or rosewood fingerboard and satin back for smooth playability, a new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case and a gorgeous new Blizzard Pearl finish option.

Subject:This Is The Bass You Hear In Your Head
Quality: This is my 4th bass and it is far superior to the (good) 2007 Fender MIM P bass. I had no idea there was that much difference in just the pro feel of the new MIA Fender P. It wasn't cheap but it was more than worth it. Nicely done Fender.
Features: Love the heavier bridge and truss rods. The overall weight feels about 1-2 pounds lighter than the MIM. The sound is deep, clean and pure. The pickup looks about the same as the MIM but sounds much better. Through-the-body Fender 9050M strings make a difference as well.
Sound: This is the sound you hear in your head when you think of the P bass and all the big hits. A ton of bass players on tour still play the P and for good reason. I think James Jamerson would love the new American P.
Playability and Feel: Well balanced. You can play gospel in church a long time without getting tired. It feels like quality in every way. It's probably the last bass I will ever buy. Not to overstate the case but it is just fine in every way.
Tone: Not a lot of variation but enough. VERY quiet even with treble up all the way. Pickup has good output, warm and smooth. Low E is really there. Fat when you want it and very nice midrange for the quieter stuff. I play through a Hartke 4x10 with a Hartke 15 and Hartke amp.
Finish: Beautiful. Great fit. Not a mark anywhere. The resale on this bass will very good if I ever wanted to sell it, which I won't.
Action: Fast and smooth. No setup really needed. No buzz. No dead spots. No sharp edges. Deep gloss maple fretboard. Perfect neck size and STRAIGHT. May not even need a luthier on this. Intonation seems right on.

"I really liked the live Chat feature. I also was very impressed with the Live product demostration video by Line 6 Variax Guitars on the Acoustic and Classical versions. This was very integral in making my decision, as was the live Chat." Nov '09
