Lay down some serious grooves with this American Pro P Bass. The maple neck features the same dimensions as the celebrated 1963 Precision Bass neck profile.

Overview
Bass -- it's where rhythm meets melody, creating a righteous groove that forces you to move with it. Without the Fender Precision Bass, the original electric bass, dance floors everywhere would be empty. As music evolves, our instruments change in lockstep; the end result is today's version of this seminal instrument -- the American Professional Precision Bass.
The Precision Bass was a truly revolutionary instrument when it was released in 1951. Not only could bassists finally play with perfect intonation, they could be heard along with the rest of the band. From funk to rock, hip-hop to reggae; all of the music that's enriched our lives began with the thunderous Precision Bass.
Sean Hurley On the Fender American Professional Precision Bass:
Developed by longtime bass pickup master Michael Bump, the brand-new V-Mod split-coil Precision Bass pickup uses a carefully selected blend of alnico magnet types for balanced tone with authentic Fender sonic DNA. The "golden" '63 P Bass neck profile feels just right nestled in your hand, becoming one with you, while the narrow-tall frets provide a familiar playing feel and perfect intonation. Posiflex graphite support rods run the length of the neck, adding stability to the neck while resisting warping. The redesigned tuning machines use a fluted shaft, creating the optimum break angle over the nut while keeping the string windings tight for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability.

It’s been 28 years since I’ve owned a Fender bass. I normally play very high end basses worth several thousands of dollars, hand built for me. Since I started bass I’ve always wanted an American made Fender P bass and this one really delivered! The quality is exceptional, the only thing I had to do was give it a quick setup since I love very low action.The tone has that original P bass tone I have always loved from Fender. It can do the deep muted Motown sound, yet crank the tone knob and you got a nice P bass growl.I find myself turning to this bass and playing it nonstop since I bought it, don’t hesitate to give one a try. Oh, and the white finish with mint green pickguard looks gorgeous with the maple fretboard.
