Past meets present design
Fender's Player II series was conceived to honor musical heritage while updating the most iconic instruments for modern performance. The 75th Anniversary Player II Precision Bass builds upon that idea, providing players with familiar tonewoods and legacy designs while refining the overall playability. Here, a traditional alder body is paired with a maple neck topped with a rosewood fretboard featuring rolled edges and a comfortable, Modern C neck shape. This combination offers a broken-in feel and smooth playability, ideal for any approach, style, or genre.
Updating the format
The 75th Anniversary Player II Precision Bass features refined upgrades that place it firmly in the modern era. The 4-saddle bridge uses single-groove steel "barrel" saddles to lock in spacing, improve intonation, and prevent string drift. Up top, standard open-gear tuning machines with the traditional cloverleaf design and high-ratio gearing provide smooth adjustments and outstanding stability. Overall, this high-performance hardware significantly enhances the P Bass's performance, making it an instrument you can take to the stage and studio with the utmost confidence.
Thunderous custom split-coil
Custom-designed for the 75th Anniversary Player II Precision Bass, the 75th Anniversary Split-coil Thunderbolt Precision Bass pickup delivers the rich, powerful punch the P Bass is known the world over for. Alongside this unmistakable tone, the Thunderbolt split-coil delivers enhanced smoothness, clarity, and articulation, helping you confidently define your place in even the most raucous mix. Paired with a simple control section comprised of a single Tone knob and a single Volume knob, sculpting your sound is a straightforward affair.
“The 75th Anniversary Player II Precision Bass is one of the most natural-feeling basses I've ever had the pleasure of picking up. Fender's Modern C neck just feels like home.
