The legendary playability and versatility of the Fender Precision Bass is found in every inch of the Squier Vintage Modified Precision electric bass. But don't call it a copy: this Vintage Modified bass sports its own unique features and style that would make any more expensive P Bass jealous.

Duncan Designed, Fender Approved

Loaded with a Duncan Designed split single-coil pickup and a fast C-shaped maple neck, the Vintage Modern Precision electric bass offers tight and responsive bass sound for just about any playing style. The Duncan Designed split single-coil pickups easily go from punchy and chunky rock tones to smooth R&B and funk tones without taking away from the dynamics of your playing. The expertly crafted and finely detailed maple neck is fitted with 20 Medium Jumbo frets and dot position inlays, so you can cover as much territory on the fretboard as you want without fatiguing your hand.

Classic P Bass Sound and Style

For rich low end and clear midrange tones, this Vintage Modern Precision bass is built with a lightweight agathis body that is tough and sturdy, perfect for endless jams and the trials of the road -- not to mention that classic P Bass body shape to show the crowd you mean business! And, at a 34-inch scale, the Squier Vintage Modern Precision electric bass feels sturdy without being difficult to play.

Vintage Modern Precision

Bass players looking for a unique tone will be pleased with the versatility this affordable Squier P Bass offers. The Vintage Modified Precision's pickup responds to your slightest tweaks of the single tone knob, producing a variety of tones to cut through any mix without sounding brittle or boomy. As functional as they are stylish, Fender's Chrome Dome control knobs make it simple to dial in your exact tone and volume settings, and their knurled design help them stay put so you don't have to be constantly minding your settings while you play.

Features:

- Lightweight agathis body
- C-shaped neck maple neck
- 20 Medium Jumbo frets
- Dot position inlays
- 34-inch scale
- Duncan Designed split single-coil pickup
- Chrome hardware
- Knurled Chrome Dome control knobs

Thick, but precise. Huge, but tight. Modern, but raw. Refined, but dirty. However you describe it, that unmistakable Fender P-Bass tone has defined the sound of electric bass for generations of musicians. It's time to pick up where your heroes left off and plug in the Squier Vintage Modified Precision electric bass. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Squier products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (12 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "If You Spent More For A P-Bass, You Ain't Gonna Be Happy With This Review!"
Sound: It sounds like a classic Fender P-Bass. It shouldn't, for the price, but it does! Perfect for Classic Rock, Blues, Soul and Classic R&B. Feature: Not real crazy about the agathis body, but for the money, a great value. The neck is as good, if not better than the Fender MIM P-Bass. The Duncan pickups do a great job. Ease of Use: It only has a volume control and a tone control. It's a P-Bass...that's all it needs! I slightly increase the lows and highs on my amp's EQ, roll back the tone control on the bass, and I've got the James Jamerson, Duck Dunn, Jack Bruce sound. That's it. Simple. Quality: The Squier Vintage Modified series are very, very good. I also own the Jazz version. Fit and finish is very good, hardware is average but acceptable, the Duncan pickups are excellent. The VM series are passive basses, so no batteries to mess with. The P-Bass pickguard is not the best. The satin finish on the neck feels a little inexpensive to me, but very smooth and very fast. There is an ever-so-slight neck dive due to the lightweight agathis body. Value: Bass Player Magazine recently rated the Jazz version as the Best All-Around Value, and this P-Bass cousin is just as good. Manufacturer Support: No experience. The Wow Factor: Personally, I'm not a big fan of the white w/ black pickguard, but for the 70's vintage look, Squier did an exceptional job. This is a very practical bass for live play or recording and it also makes a great backup for any situation. I'm gigging with it tonight. Overall: Squier has everyone talking about their VM series basses. Good quality, good value. I am very happy to own the P-Bass and Jazz basses. I do own more expensive basses, but for the money and then some, this is one healthy bass!
Style of Music: Classic Rock, Blues, Soul

Squier Vintage P Bass Customer Review
Sound: It sounds ok I think. I dont agree totally to the other review on this page. Alot of people cant really see past their nose when it comes to instruments. If you think it sounds a bit dull its probably because you have not set your eq right on your amp. As for using a highter watted amp I agree but dont jump in anp buy a big expensive amp, your looking for an amp thatb provides plenty of low end at high volumes. Feature: It lokos really nice and is light weight Ease of Use: Now Instead of playing with this bass and not liking the sound and throwing your toys out of the pram and braking your back with expense and buying a really expensive guitar, you can do what I did. The wood on this guitar is good, dont let anyone tell you otherwise, I took the pickup out and replaced it with an EMG-P active pickup. because I was changing to active I had to change the pots and wiring too. I bought a thicker pick guard and use Elixer or ernie ball strings. A gotoah bridge and gotoh machine heads. I use an Ashdown electric blue 15" bass amp 180 watts, sounds great and i DI the amp straight into a mixing desk. his bass now sounds better than a a vintage £900 fender P Bass and all for a total price of £150 Quality: Great Value: Cheap and cheerfull - Never goes out ot tune Manufacturer Support: N/A

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
