Manufacturer's Description for Fender American Precision Left-Handed Electric Bass (Rosewood, with Case)

The American Series Precision Bass guitar that everyone knows and loves is better than ever! The new S-1 switching system makes this an extremely versatile bass that gives players an array of cool new sounds, and it comes in some fantastic new colors and finishes!

Features include a solid alder and graphite-reinforced, modern C-shaped maple neck with satin polyurethane finish (available with maple or rosewood fingerboard). With the S-1 system, you can switch the split single-coil pickup from series to parallel, giving the bass a brighter, snappier tone similar to that of a Jazz Bass guitar. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Fender products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. Fender Lefty P Bass Customer Review

Sound: Big Sound, especially for 1 pick-up!! Perfect for the all around type of player. The s1 switch doesn't do much. If your looking for both a nice growl and a crisp sound, you'll love this bass. Feature: Comes with a sweet case, nice tools, even a strap! as for the actual bass, all the hardware is of good quality, nothing cheap about it! Ease of Use: Plays very well. It's a bass. Quality: The quality is perfect. I got a discount because of some tiny scratches on the back, but i feel like I got a great deal. Zzounds is the best!! Value: It's pricy, but it's also a Fender. They retain value very well as long as you maintain it. In 20 years you can sell it for the same real price. Manufacturer Support: no problems yet The Wow Factor: Its a classic look, you can get the same design and logo for 1/2 the price with a Mexican made one, and the average person probably couldn't tell the difference. I own a Mexican Jazz bass, and you can definitely tell the difference in quality and sound. Overall: Great bass, awesome sound. I would definitely recommend it to serious musicians. A little to pricy for those just starting out.
