Fender American Professional II Precision Bass V - Dark Night with Maple Fingerboard Reviews
Leo Fender nailed the essence of a great instrument when he launched his Precision Bass in 1951. Today, the Fender American Professional II Precision Bass V draws on over six decades of innovation, evolution, and inspiration to exceed the requirements of today’s working bassists; and adds the extended range of a tight, responsive low B string — a must-have for theatrical pit work and many other contemporary musical contexts. The ’63 C-profile neck feels just right, with its smooth, rolled fingerboard edges, “Super-Natural” satin finish, and newly sculpted neck heel that gives you effortless access to the upper register. Fender’s new V-Mod II Precision Bass V split-coil pickup serves up classic P Bass punch and growl, with more articulation than ever before. A genuine bone nut and string-through-body or top-load 5-saddle HiMass Vintage bridge deliver solidity and sustain for authoritative tone, while lightweight vintage-style tuners with tapered shafts provide outstanding tuning stability and fast, hassle-free string changes. Rocking premium appointments, flawless playability, optimized electronics, and classic visuals, the Fender American Professional II Precision Bass V offers you a new standard of comfort, tone, and performance.

It can be better
This bass is absolutely incredible and beautiful and the sound uf everything I'm dream on.
Fender is Number 1!
Yes!!! The Fender/Squier basses are Number 1 in my book! I love owning them and playing them! They carry and create the perfect sound and tone whatever you need and look forward to. At first,I started out on drums, but when I got into playing the bass, Fender was the first thing that I laid my eyes on, and I have been hooked onto them for the longest! Ever since, I have been playing Gospel, R & B, Jazz, Blues, Soul, and the ever- popular, P-Funk! No matter how much I play, I will always stick with Fender and Squier basses!
Perfection
This is a perfect bass. The feel, the action, the sound(passive pickups on a 5 string) the look. All these things plus the name of the color = a perfect bass. The Dark Knight American pro ii 5 string bass is awesome. Do yourself a favor, call Brendan Murphy at Sweetwater & buy it. You won't be able to put it down!
Night and Day Difference
I was using a 5 string Fender Jazz bass with the active pickups option. I was looking for a little more punch and warmth. The Precision solved my issue without the active pickups that I've been using for over 25 years. It sounds great live and the others I regularly play with have noticed along with a great tone in the studio as well.
