Packs the essence of classic bass tones

If you've ever listened to recorded music, you've probably heard the Fender P Bass before. It is the bass sound. That bass tone. At Sweetwater, we're not even sure where music would be these days if it wasn't for the P Bass! The Fender Custom Shop 2014 Proto Precision Bass packs the powerful punch that made the original P Bass the standard for big fat bass guitar tone.

Thunderous low end - courtesy of a Custom TV Jones Thunderblade pickup

Fender Custom Shop's Proto Precision Bass serves up thunderous bottom-end - courtesy of its Custom TV Jones Thunderblade pickup. Sporting steel blades instead of pole screws, the Thunderblade offers up a larger magnetized surface, generating greater inductance. With outstanding string-to-string response, the Thunderblade is an all-around star performer, giving your bass agressive punch and dynamic sensitivity.
