Fender Precision Bass

The Fender Precision bass, or Fender P-Bass as it is often affectionately known, is possibly the most recorded bass guitar in the history of music. This is the original and best. Like other Fender models from the 50s and early 60s, its design was so perfect from day one that it has hardly changed since.

The P-bass is a simple design, featuring a substantial Maple neck and a solid body holding a single split-coil pickup which acts as a humbucker. This is the blueprint upon which all other bass guitars have since based themselves. It has remained extremely popular.

Fender offer the Precision bass in many ranges from both the USA and Mexico as well as in Squier models from the Far East. The diverse Mexican ranges include the Deluxe Active model and the 50s Classic. The US Fenders include great P-basses in the American Original, American Pro and American Elite ranges. Incredible Fender Custom Shop Precision basses are also available, both as Team Built and Master Built instruments.

A number of special Artist model P-basses join the lineup too, each with features relative to that particular player. You can find Signature Precision basses for Ex-Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters, Iron Maiden's Steve Harris and Green Day's Mike Dirnt among other top ranking players.
