Description
Every low end you’ve ever loved owes something to this instrument. The Precision Bass didn’t just join the band in 1951 – it gave bass players a fighting chance to be heard, and everything from funk basslines to reggae skank traces back to that moment. This American Professional version keeps that DNA intact while tightening up the details that matter on stage and in the studio.
At the heart of it is a V-Mod split-coil pickup, designed by veteran pickup builder Michael Bump using a specific blend of alnico magnets. It’s tuned for that classic thump with enough clarity up top to cut through a mix without getting harsh. The ’63 P Bass neck profile – often called the gold standard for a reason – sits in your hand like it was carved for you, and the narrow-tall frets make bending and chording up the neck feel natural while keeping intonation locked in.
Under the hood, Posiflex graphite rods run the length of the neck to fight off warping from humidity and temperature swings, so your setup stays put whether you’re in a sweaty club or a dry studio. The fluted-shaft tuning machines pull string windings down tight for a sharper break angle over the bone nut, which means better sustain and fewer tuning headaches mid-set. A HiMass Vintage bridge with single-groove saddles rounds things out with vintage looks and rock-solid stability.
