Description
Every P-Bass thump you’ve ever loved traces back to this shape, and the Player Series version delivers it without the vintage price tag or vintage quirks. The split-coil Alnico 5 pickup pushes out that unmistakable growl and thump — fat in the low mids, punchy on the attack, the kind of tone that sits in a mix without any help. One pickup, one volume, one tone, zero overthinking required.
The alder body wears a gloss Tidepool finish that stands out on a dark stage, paired with a Modern “C” maple neck that’s fast under the hand without feeling thin. The 9.5″ radius maple fingerboard and 20 medium-jumbo frets make it equally happy for rock-solid quarter notes or faster fingerstyle runs, and the 34″ scale keeps that low B… well, there’s no B here, but the E string still hits with proper authority.
Small details add up to a bass that plays like it costs more than it does: a synthetic bone nut for clean sustain, a 4-saddle bridge you can dial in for exact intonation and action, open-gear tuners that hold pitch through a full set, and the four-bolt “F”-stamped neck plate that’s been a Fender hallmark for generations. This one ships without a case, so budget for gig bag or hardshell separately.
