The American Professional Precision Bass® draws from more than seventy years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today's working player.

The medium “C” profile neck sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. The new V-Mod III Precision Bass split-coil pickup is more articulate than ever while delivering the punch and growl the P Bass® is known for, while ClassicGear™ Precision™ Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper for effortless, reliable performance.

The American Pro Precision Bass delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you'll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.
