This Fender American Professional II Precision Bass guitar with maple fingerboard delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility that bassists will feel and hear right away. This bass is crafted for professional musicians and discerning hobbyists alike.

New V-Mod II Pickups Provide Legendary Punch and Articulation

The American Pro II P Bass features newly designed V-Mod II Precision Bass split-coil pickups that deliver the punch and growl the P Bass is known for with enhanced articulation. The pickups are more articulate than ever while still providing a classic tone bassists crave.

Sculpted Neck Heel and "Super-Natural" Neck Finish Enable Effortless Playing

A sculpted neck heel and satin "Super-Natural" neck finish make the American Pro II P Bass an unbelievably comfortable bass to play. The neck heel provides easy access to upper frets, while the neck finish feels smooth to the touch. 20 narrow tall frets also aid in comfort and playability.

Lightweight Alder Body and Vintage-Style Bridge Create Solid Foundation

A lightweight alder body and 4-saddle HiMass Vintage bridge provide a sturdy base for the articulation and tone provided by the pickups and electronics. The alder body builds a foundational vintage tone, while the bridge delivers solidity and sustain.

Additional Premium Appointments Round Out This Professional Instrument

A '63 P Bass neck profile, bone nut and Fender lightweight vintage-style tuners with tapered shafts provide premium appointments on this professional-level instrument. Since 1951, the Fender Precision Bass has been refined to meet musicians' needs and the American Pro II P Bass raises the bar through cutting-edge design and construction techniques usually reserved for Fender Custom Shop instruments.

    I've been a bassist for about 12 years now. I've had a few basses from squire to dean to other American fender models. This is one I will keep forever. I love the sound of the VMod pups. The maple fret board feels like it was broken in just for me. The tone and sustain is incredible!

    Once I was able to locate this P-bass in Olympic White, Guitar Center delivered it in two days. It's a beautiful good sounding bass. However it had virtually no setup. That should never happen with a bass this expensive from Fender. I am able to my own setups but for the person who cannot do setups, don't buy online. Order and buy it at the store and have them set up the guitar.

    I'm primarily a guitar player, so I can't speak too much about this bass relative to others, but the quality and sound are fantastic. The fit and finish is basically flawless, the rolled fretboard edges are super comfortable, and the fret ends were dressed beautifully. The pots feel good. I'd prefer the output jack be mounted in the body, but that's just not the P bass design, so I won't knock it for that. Laslty, Miami Blue is a seriously fun color.
