The Most Beautiful Thing I've Ever Put My Hands On

Packaged very nicely, first by Fender (bass was in a pretty nice gig bag, inside the Fender box), and then protected very well by Adorama. I love this bass! I had never played a Fender before getting this one, and wow, it exceeded all my expectations. Pictures do not do this classic masterpiece justice. A must have for any serious bass player. For me, it is the perfect bass as far as the neck, tone and weight. Pickups are HOT, and very versatile. I did however immediately replace the bridge to a Fender High Mass, but that's just me. Literally, this bass has taken my playing to the next level. Adorama was awesome.

Enhance your musical journey with the American Performer Precision Bass Guitar, meticulously crafted in Corona, California. This iconic instrument embodies the quintessential Fender quality, offering an unparalleled tonal experience that resonates with both tradition and innovation. The heart of this bass lies in its Yosemite split-coil Precision Bass middle pickup paired with a robust Yosemite single-coil Jazz Bass bridge pickup. These pickups are engineered for a full-bodied, expressive sound that adapts fluidly across various genres and playing styles.

The pickups feature flat-staggered pole pieces that amplify the output, while a unique shellac coating permits the coils to breathe, minimizing feedback and allowing for a pristine, clear tone. The American Performer Precision Bass is also equipped with the revolutionary Greasebucket tone circuitry, a feature that empowers you to sculpt your high frequencies without muddying the low end, thus maintaining the integrity of your sound.

The playability of this bass is enhanced by its "Modern C"-shaped neck, offering a sleek, ergonomic profile that fits comfortably in your hand. The rosewood fingerboard, with its 9.5" radius, provides a smooth playing surface that's ideal for any playing technique. Complemented by 21 jumbo frets, the fingerboard facilitates effortless string bending and clear articulation, ensuring that every note you play is expressed with precision.

The 3-Color Sunburst finish of the American Performer Precision Bass Guitar not only adds a touch of classic aesthetic but also highlights the quality craftsmanship that Fender is renowned for. Whether you're laying down the groove on stage or refining your skills in the studio, this bass guitar is a testament to Fender's legacy of building instruments that inspire and endure. Elevate your bass playing to new heights with the American Performer Precision Bass Guitar, a testament to Fender's commitment to musical excellence.
