Born in Corona, California, the American Performer Precision Bass with maple fingerboard delivers the exceptional tone and feel you expect from an authentic Fender—along with new, player-oriented features that make it even more exciting to play.
Playability that’s precise
The “Modern C”-shaped neck sports a 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard that’s comfortable for almost any playing style, along with 22 jumbo frets, allowing you to easily express yourself. ClassicGear tuning machines with tapered shafts offer stable tuning, while the silver ‘70s logo adds a touch of vintage flair.
A bass made to inspire
The alder body on the Performer Precision is contoured to perfection and comes in a choice of traditional colors. The fit and finish is impeccable and makes for an instrument you’ll be inspired to pick and play, day after day.
Being versatile gets the gig
The American Performer Precision Bass with maple fingerboard includes the Yosemite split-coil Precision Bass middle pickup and a growling Yosemite single-coil Jazz Bass bridge pickup, designed for rich, expressive tones. With flat-staggered pole pieces to increase output and a shellac coating that lets the coils breathe while controlling feedback, Yosemite pickups produce dynamic sounds ideal for any musical situation.
The American Performer Precision Bass also features Greasebucket tone circuitry that lets you shape your highs without adding bass, preserving your sound. With the Fender Performer series there has never been a better time to own a Fender Bass. Includes gig bag.
