Overview
Drive your sound with raw humbucking power. Fender's innovative Blacktop(TM) series expanded the sonic horizon of classic Fender guitars by powering them with high-gain humbucking pickups. That phenomenal Blacktop power and performance now comes to the bass world with a dual-humbucking-pickup version of the Precision Bass(R) guitar.
Sleek and supercharged, the Blacktop Precision Bass guitar features two pummeling Blacktop Bass humbucking pickups that make it one of the most powerful basses - if not the most powerful bass -- Fender has ever offered. Other distinctive touches are three Jazz Bass control knobs (volume for each pickup and master tone) and a Blacktop HiMass bridge. Features include an alder body, maple neck with modern C shape and gloss urethane finish, rosewood fretboard with 9.5" radius and 20 medium jumbo frets, three-ply black-white-black pickguard, open-gear tuners and chrome hardware.

This bass plays and feels and sounds amazing! Sort of a bonus extra fat low end sound from the humbuckers. The neck feels comfortable, I always liked 4 string basses the best. You can't beat the price for a bass of this quality, don't hesitate and pick one up.
