Ever since Leo Fender rolled out the original Precision Bass in 1951, players have gravitated towards its smooth playability and immense bass tone. The release of the American Standard P Bass continues this legacy with a set of captivating features and upgrades. From the high-end Fender Custom Shop pickups to the improved hardware and fresh finish options, the American Standard is one of the best P Basses yet.

Voluminous P Bass Tone

The American Standard sports a Fender Custom Shop '60s Precision Bass split single-coil pickup identical to that used on some of Fender's highest-end signature models. The P Bass sound is usually defined by its robust yet clear low-end and this powerful single-coil delivers exactly that. Punk, grunge, and other hard-rock bassists have long embraced the P Bass for its ability to cut through any mix and fill the low-end with captivating bass tone. These same tonal qualities have also been embraced by a long list of funk, jazz, and country players.

Superb Playability and Other Upgrades

As its name implies, the Precision Bass design allows bassists a comfortable feel with a smooth and precise neck. Crafted in a modern C-shape with a hand-rolled maple fingerboard, all the American Standard delivers classic P Bass playability Fender fans have come to expect. For the release, Fender has updated the high mass bridge and introduced a thinner undercoating. Both features work to enhance the overall resonance of the bass.
