Fender American Pro II Precision Bass MN, Black

Full Description

Vintage modified. Modern enhancements

When the original V-Mod single-coil pickups first released with the American Pro series, players were instantly blown away by their gigantic output, crystal-clear clarity. and sweet, vintage voicing. So much so, the question was asked: "does it get any better than this?". Yes. Because Fender never rest on their success - they strive for constant improvement and innovation. Which is why the V-Mod II Presision Bass split-coil is possibly one of the best bass pickups out there.

Booming bass power. Immaculate articulation. This solitary pickup proves that one is all you need. Because not only is it authentically vintage-sounding, but its dynamism is quite simply unmatched. From clean jazz licks, to all-out rock 'n' roll mayhem; there's nothing this punching pickup can't handle. But how can words do it justice? Hear the difference.

Sublime satin maple neck

Take your fingers for a ride. Some woods are naturally perfect for bass. Maple is one of them, and it makes up the neck on this powerful specimen. Boasting a sleek 'super-natural' satin urethane finish and comfortable 1963 C profile, you'll find that your hand can manoeuvre with superb agility all the way along the fretboard, fully freeing up your playing. The bright, punchy resonance created when the maple vibrates also lends itself to your sound, adding crunch and definition. There's nothing holding you back from playing to perfection.

Bulletproof

Nothing but the best. Fender have really gone to town on the American Professional II Precision bass's hardware. With Fender Lightweight Vintage-Style tuners adorning the headstock, this instrument not only looks classy, but also holds tuning exceptionally well. And the 4-saddle HiMass Vintage bridge keeps your strings anchored down and resonating beautifully for perfect sonic results. The deluxe moulded case included with this beastly bass is built like a tank, helping to keep your beloved bass safe wherever you take it. From its stellar, premium sound to the hardware holding it together, this instrument boasts a treasure trove of quality.
