The 21st-century way to rock a Precision Bass for the bassist who demands the ideal combination of traditional Precision style and innovative modern features. The U.S.-made American Deluxe Precision Bass delivers time-honored Precision design with more under the hood for supercharged tone and performance, including dual pickups, active/passive circuitry and more.
With state-of-the-art design and powerful sound, N3 Noiseless pickups supercharge your sound by delivering the pure dynamic range and response of vintage Fender single-coil pickups with virtually no hum.
This instrument features a contoured neck heel specially sculpted for maximum playing comfort. Rather than the traditional squared-off heel, it’s smooth and rounded for a pleasing fretting-hand feel, and it allows comfortably easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard.
This American Deluxe bass model features a Fender High Mass Vintage (HMV) bridge, which combines a stylishly classic look with superior modern intonation, sustain and adjustability for pro-level tone and performance. Versatile design accommodates player preference for top-load or through-body string attachment.
The tonally versatile active/passive electronics on this American Deluxe bass let you engage the onboard preamp with a simple flick of the switch near the control knobs. Passive mode delivers traditional clear and powerful punch, while active mode kicks the power up a notch and engages three-band active EQ (ideal for slap and funk).
The headstock of this American Deluxe bass features a special “stealth” string retainer on the A-string tuning machine, ensuring an optimal string break angle for improved performance.
Strong and dense, ash is a longtime classic for electric instrument bodies. Notably resonant and sweet sounding, it’s characterized by clearly chiming highs, well-defined midrange and strong low end. It also features an attractive grain that takes lighter-colored finishes especially beautifully.
