Fender Mike Dirnt Precision Bass Guitar Black Rosewood Fretboard

Mike Dirnt has a style all his own and he makes his music with Green Day on the very distinctive Fender Mike Dirnt Precision Bass Guitar. Based on the '51 P Bass, it's armed with a Custom Shop '59 pickup for a very effective twist. Combining a vintage vibe and modern appointments, it has medium-jumbo frets, a Badass II top-load bridge, rosewood fingerboard, and '51 slab ash body with arm contour. Very cool.

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.
