Fender invented the electric bass guitar, introducing the Precision Bass in 1951. Its thick sound & indestructible build changed the face of popular music. New American Standard Precision basses are today’s versions of the great instruments of bass heroes past & present—the modern interpretations of our classic instrument, refined for today’s players. The new American Standard Precision basses feature our new high-mass vintage bridge, a thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe & improves resonance, new & enhanced Fender tuning keys that keep the classic look but are 30 percent lighter, a richer & deeper neck tint for a more elegant appearance, a great-looking glossed maple or rosewood fingerboard & satin back for smooth playability, a new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case & a gorgeous new Blizzard Pearl finish option.
