Description

The Fender American Professional II Precision Bass V Maple Fingerboard Miami Blue. This upgraded version of Fender's iconic P Bass model provides bassists with the familiar, punchy tone and comfortable feel they know and love, now enhanced through innovative updates. The V-Mod II Precision Bass V split-coil pickup has been re-voiced for articulate, flexible sound with rich low end. A satin-finished '63 P Bass neck profile and rolled fingerboard edges make playing a joy. The American Professional II Precision Bass V is crafted for today's versatile players.

New Pickups Deliver Classic Sound with Enhanced Clarity

At the heart of this bass's full yet flexible tone are the V-Mod II Precision Bass V pickups. Re-engineered from the ground up, these split-coil pickups provide the legendary punch and growl P Basses are known for, with boosted note articulation and definition. The clarity of these pickups allows bassists to cut through a mix when needed, or hang back and provide a solid low-end foundation.

Comfort-Focused Neck and Fingerboard

Fender aimed to make this P Bass as enjoyable to play as it sounds. They've shaped the neck into a familiar '63 P Bass profile and finished it in a smooth satin. Rolled fingerboard edges create an ultra-comfortable feel under the hand. A sculpted neck heel provides easy access to the upper frets. Combined, these enhancements make playing the American Professional II P Bass V a sublime experience.

Versatile Tone and Playability

With its flexible pickups and comfortable neck, this precision bass guitar proves versatile enough for any style. The clarity of its tone means it can handle articulate funk lines as easily as it punches out a solid rock bassline. Its slick playability invites practicing complex techniques or simple root-fifth accompaniments. Whether recording in the studio, jamming with friends or performing for an audience, the American Professional II Precision Bass V is an ideal companion.

Premium Construction and Components

As expected from Fender, this P Bass is crafted with premium materials and components. Its alder body provides a rich tone, enhanced by a maple fingerboard. Fender's HiMass Vintage bridge transfers string vibrations efficiently for sustain. Vintage-style tuning machines keep it tuned precisely. All parts are assembled and finished in Fender's Corona, California factory.

    Great feel, wonderful playability, classic vibe sound, meticulous craftsmanship. Iconic. Seriously, what's not to love? If I could own only 1 bass, this would be it. You gotta have a P-bass. #sweepstakes
