Fender American Deluxe Ash Precision Bass 5-String
Fender American Deluxe Ash Precision Bass 5-String Tobacco Sunburst Rosewood Fretboard

This premium ash-bodied P-Bass is a stunning piece of Fender handiwork. The graphite-reinforced maple neck has a modern C shape. Appointments include deluxe Lite-Bass tuning machines, a chromeplated bridge that permits string-thru or top-loading, a new design split single-coil pickup (mid position), and a humbucker at the bridge. It also has 3-band active EQ with master volume and a pan pot for pickup blend. Great looking, great sounding, and highly dialable. Includes hardshell case

Fender 51 Precision Bass
Fender 51 Precision Bass

A vintage single-coil pickup halfway between the bridge and neck, 2-saddle bridge, gorgeous ash body, and one-piece maple neck and fretboard make up the killer combination that carried the low end of half the top acts of the '50s, '60s, and '70s. Amoeba pickguard, vintage chrome knobs and knob plate, stunning butterscotch blonde see-through finish, and classic narrow headstock make it look as cool as it plays.

Fender American Vintage 62 Precision Bass
Fender American Vintage 62 Precision Bass

Following its introduction in '51, the P-Bass went on to dramatically influence the way we play and hear music, impacting every genre in every decade since. The '62 Precision pays tribute to this landmark instrument as it starts its second decade. It features accurate detailing in electronics and hardware from the split single-coil pickups to the vintage tuning machines. Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer. Includes Fender deluxe hardshell case, vintage cable, and leather strap.

Fender American Vintage 57 Precision Bass
Fender American Vintage 57 Precision Bass

Made in U.S.A. This vintage reissue features a traditional maple neck, alder body, vintage hardware, and gold anodized pickguard. Maple or rosewood fretboard.

Fender Deluxe P Bass Special 4-String Bass
Fender Deluxe P Bass Special 4-String Bass Navy Blue Metallic Rosewood Fretboard

The Fender Deluxe P Bass Special 4-String Bass has a Jazz neck, a P Bass body, and a P/J combination pickup array with Vintage Noiseless pickups and active electronics. The P body is a little smaller and lighter, the J neck slimmer and faster, and the combined pickups give you just that much more to play with. A gold-anodized pickguard sets it apart visually and its satin-finish neck feels worn in from the get-go.
