Descrizione

If you're looking for an American Precision bass that has a vintage vibe as well as modern features, Fender's American Performer Precision bass is exactly that.

That's why it comes complete with a deluxe gig bag.

American Performer Precision Bass: pickups and controls

In addition to the P-style split coil in the mid position, it also has a J-style single-coil in the bridge position. Both pickups are Fender's newly-developed Yosemite models that have flat staggered poles giving them a higher output. They also have a shellac coating to prevent problems with feedback. Two volume controls allow you to find the perfect mix, while the Greasebucket Tone circuit gives you more control over the higher frequencies without the bass becoming too overbearing.

Playing comfort

As you'd expect, this Precision bass by Fender is comfortable to play. It has a standard P-bass body made of alder and the bolt-on maple neck has a modern C profile, while the maple fretboard has a 9.5-inch radius and jumbo frets. Finally, the bridge with 4 steel saddles and the paddle-style machine heads both add a touch of vintage style to the overall look.
