    I played a buddy's Fender Player P recently. Nice indeed. However, what I immediately noticed is how the Pro 2's pickup did a better job articulating the E string. The sustain is just plain impressive, whether open or fretted. Rich and deep, projecting the same volume as the other strings. Fender did a great job with volume levels across all strings. Matter of fact, I have yet, after 2 years, needed to adjust pup height. And after 2 years my new "Sweet P" seems to be getting sweeter/mellower but without losing any of the punchy power that I love about P basses. Still happy, perhaps moreso since I've been getting compliments frequently post-gigs. If I'm still kickin' my next update should be around the 5 year mark, should I remember to mark any calendar. I am NOT getting rid of this beautiful, bold bass...not making the same mistake twice in my lifetime.

  • Awesome bass.

    I just love this bass from Fender. I was playing a jazz bass because of the thinner neck profile and was always reluctant to get a precision bass but I found this bass to a have a slimmer neck than your typical precision bass. Worked with a customer service rep online who was awesome and helped me with my purchase. I couldn't be happier. The setup was just about perfect too right out of the box, thank you Fender.

    Beautiful look and sound. The through holes really give it that record ready sound with fantastic sustain and consistency.

    The headline above ^ describes why I appreciate this bass. It has a the tone and drive that P basses were known for. This model was designed with a chunkier neck, like the P's of the first two or three decades of manufacture. The pickups sealed the deal: deep tone with enough oomph to hold its own in the mix. I won't go into further detail because it has the sort of quality features and components you'd expect from a bass of this price. If you're looking for a bass that faithfully reproduces the sound and feel of the early decades of Fender P's, then this model can fulfill the search.

  • Exceptional low end

    I am absolutely loving this bass. I am a guitar player who wanted a bass for recording. I had been using a Squier bass but wasn't satisified. It just didn't sound and feel like Fender Precision Basses I'd played in the past. Decided to pull the trigger on this, and am so glad I did. It is significantly heavier and just feels much more solid. The fingerboard is fabulous. The back of the neck is so smooth and comfortable to play. The frets are perfect. Hardware so much better overall. Tuners much more solid...less tuning issues. And the sound is exactly what I was going for. It sits in my mixes so much better than the Squier bass was. And it is beautiful on top of everything. Can't recommend this bass enough.

    The narrow fret is taller. It produces a better articulation of the note.

    I'm sorry we don't know what the reason is but it would cosmetic in nature and will not affect the function of the unit. You will need to bring your trade-in to a local GC store
