Fender American Standard Precision Bass V at a Glance:
  • Classic design
  • American Standard updates
  • Modern features

Classic design
Leo Fender brought us the Precision Bass back in the 1950s, and its classic body shape and comfortable neck continue to give today's American Standard version excellent playability and a distinctive look. Players from all genres have embraced the P Bass®, and it continues to be a favorite in the studio and on stages everywhere. As with so many of Fender's original designs, the man got the essence of a great instrument right the first time, and over a half-century later the American Standard Precision Bass stands as a sterling example.

American Standard updates
The American Standard series basses include Fender's High Mass Vintage Bridge, designed to improve tone and sustain, as well as providing great tuning stability. Lightweight tuning machines are also included, giving you smooth operation.

Modern features
From its Alnico V split-coil pickup to its graphite-reinforced maple neck, the American Standard Precision Bass provides some modern upgrades to a timeless design. Modern players looking for a great-sounding instrument that's made to hit the stage night after night will love this bass, not only for its easy playability, but also for its reliability. It's a real road warrior that's equally at home in the studio.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
