Fender Precision Bass

Fender Precision Bass is one of the most important instruments in modern music. Designed by Leo Fender in 1951, the Precision Bass (or P Bass) was a design that was not only cutting edge, but functionally perfect. A huge technological upgrade from the upright basses that preceded it, offering far superior portability, ergonomics, increased sustain and an era-defining sound. The Precision Bass is beautiful in it's simplicity. It's silhouette is easily recognisable, it features a solid body, a comfortable maple neck profile, and a single "split single coil" pickup in the bridge position which acts as a humbucker and a solid body.

Fender Precision Bass is possibly the most recorded bass guitar in the history of music. For many bassists this is the original and the 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. You will often hear it referred to as the P-Bass for short. It has remained extremely popular and with very good reason. Fender Precision Bass garnered enormous favour amongst the top musicians of every era, alongside it's counterpart the Jazz Bass. Famous Fender P-Bass players include the likes of Roger Waters, James Jamerson, Steve Harris, Duff McKagan and many more.

There are a variety of Fender Precision basses across many of their ranges. Choices for these bass guitars include the bestselling Player Precision Bass Series, the Deluxe Active and the American made Ultra, Performer and Pro II ranges.
