Made to Be Played

The maple neck is carved in an asymmetric "C" shape that should feel incredibly natural in your hands. It is finished with a handsome tinted gloss polyurethane. The fingerboard is rosewood with a 9.5 radius, while the scale length is a familiar 34 inches. You'll appreciate the rolled fingerboard edges and highly detailed nut and fret work.

Dual N3 Pickups with Active Preamp

Fender's redesigned N3 Noiseless pickups give you great response and tone from the moment you plug in. The N3s deliver a degree of headroom that has yet to be matched by any other P Bass. The well-placed controls give you both a Pan Pot pickup selector and a Blend Control. You can tweak your way to a great tone with the Treble Boost/Cut, Midrange Boost/But, Bass Boost/Cut. Whenever you want to read more switch between Active and Passive modes, simply hit the mini toggle switch. With such a flexible tonal range, this bass is ready to serve a wide variety of uses and musical styles.

You'll strap the American Deluxe Precision on with the chrome American Series strap buttons that match the rest of the fine hardware on this axe. Fender Lightweight Vintage Style button tuners key your instrument in tune with a minimum of fuss.
