Updated bridge,new Fender Design tuners, and a new case modernize this classic!

This American Standard Series P Bass V 5-string has a vintage body radius and contour for a classic vibe and feel. The body is rendered in premium alder for optimum tone and sustain. Its rosewood or maple fretboard features detailed fret and nut work. The neck is graphite-reinforced and has rolled edges for a broken-in feel from the get-go. HMV Bridge (high mass vintage) increases sustain, provides punchier tone, beefier looking plates and 3/8" diameter vintage saddles. String height adjustment screws have nylon patches for a tight fit that won't vibrate loose.

A 12-gauge cold rolled steel plate machined brass backstop increases mass, and enhances top end. The socket head intonation screws are engineered for a tighter fit, and are now more stable. Features new Fender design tuning keys. They work great, and are 30% lighter, minimizing neck dip. Classic 20:1 tuning ratio, cast zinc with aluminum string posts and mounting nuts, and steel clovers. Brass worm gears, steel worm drives.

With a thinner undercoat, the American Standard P Bass body breathes easier and has improved sound (more wood influence). Neck pocket paint buildup has been reduced by 40%, greatly improving the wood to wood connection/reaction.

The included SKB rectangular design case, exclusive to Fender, has TSA recognized and accepted locks. Fiberglass reinforced nylon trigger release latching system, indestructible cushioned rubber over-molded handle with flush lock out. Injection molded feet and exclusive arched stacking system.

  • 5 String American Standard Precision

    As reviewed by Gary Thompson on 6/30/2010

    When i was a kid i played a lot of P-Basses, and they were always my favorite. They have the sound, the look, and the feel I love. I recently picked up a Tri-Color American Standard 5 String precision and I am totally in love. The neck feels great, the weight and ballance are perfect, and the sound? OMG! Nothing sounds like a P-Bass.Fender has been making this product for a half a century with very few changes. The perfect bass in my opinion.

  • Fender P-Bass 5

    As reviewed by Starbuck on 7/4/2009

    I was knocking around GC looking for a new amp and trying various combinations of equipment. I came across this beauty and immediately fell in love. The sound is rich and full, virtually no buzz. It was such a joy to play, I would have bought it then and there had it been in my budget. My only complaint was the fifth string. Though it had a great tone it felt just a little too loose. All in all a wonderful bass, possibly the best 5 string ever.
