Precision Bass

Since their 1951 introduction by Fender, the Precision Bass has long reigned supreme as the instrument of choice for an endless number of bass guitar players. But what is it that makes the P-Bass such an influential and in-demand instrument?

The iconic Precision Bass has some pretty special characteristics that are hard to beat. Aside from their solid build and comfortable playability, the secret to the instrument’s enduring popularity is in its tone. Originally featuring a single-coil pickup, since 1957, the P-Bass has rocked a two-piece split-coil humbucker. The result is a sound that’s unmistakably a Precision Bass, cutting through any mix with power and clarity. Couple that with a versatility that sees the instrument feel right at home in everything from funk and jazz to punk and metal, and you’ve got an iconic bass that has lasted the ages!
