A Precision Bass, only smaller
A rock ’n’ roll icon, the original P Bass design was inspired by the Fender Stratocaster’s contoured double-horn body. The Mini Precision Bass retains the shape but scales it down to nearly three-quarters of its original size, perfect for younger players. Beyond that, it’s a P Bass through and through, decked out with chrome knobs, a rock-solid hardtail bridge, and a vintage-style single-ply pickguard, so there’s no mistaking its heritage.
Timeless split single-coil tone
A workhorse in the studio and on the stage, the P Bass has a legendary tone, owing to its split single-coil pickup design. The Mini Precision Bass pumps out that classic sound — fat low end, punchy mids, and crisp highs. With a single Volume knob and a single Tone knob, the Mini Precision Bass has plenty of tonal variation, whether you want to stand out from the band or tuck in behind the drummer and help hold down the groove.
Comfy neck for small hands
The Mini Precision Bass’s diminutive neck measures in at 28.6 inches, nearly two inches shorter than a typical short-scale bass. And featuring a comfortable C-shape profile and satin urethane finish, it’s incredibly easy to move around on — especially for small hands. Capped with a lively laurel fingerboard decorated with pearloid dot inlays, the Mini Precision Bass’s neck not only looks sharp but also sounds great.
