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.

Born in Corona, California, the American Performer Precision Bass delivers the exceptional tone and feel you expect from an authentic Fender-along with new, player-oriented features that make it even more inspiring to play.

The American Performer Precision Bass includes the Yosemite split-coil Precision Bass middle pickup and a growling Yosemite single-coil Jazz Bass bridge pickup, designed for rich, expressive tones. With flat-staggered pole pieces to increase output and a shellac coating that lets the coils breathe while controlling feedback, Yosemite pickups produce dynamic sounds ideal for any musical situation.

The American Performer Precision Bass also features Greasebucket tone circuitry that lets you shape your highs without adding bass, preserving your sound. The "Modern C"- shaped neck sports a 9.5"- radius fingerboard that's comfortable for almost any playing style, along with 21 jumbo frets, allowing you to easily express yourself musically.

What's in the box:

  • American Performer Precision Bass Guitar
  • Deluxe Gig Bag
  • Fender 2 Year Limited Warranty
