An Iconic Bass Built for Any Player
From the early 1950s to today, one bass throughout the history of popular music has seen more recording time than perhaps any other: the Precision Bass. Designed to ignite that first spark of inspiration, the Squier Sonic Precision Bass provides a solid foundation for any budding bassist that grows with them throughout their life. The combination of a single pickup with a maple neck emits the foundational sonic punch that catapulted the P Bass to its legendary status, while the lightweight poplar body and laurel fingerboard offer a comfortable, unencumbered playing experience. With such performance features as a rigid chrome bridge, sealed die-cast tuners, and a synthetic bone nut, this 4-string powerhouse is reliable enough for Sweetwater’s bass players to take directly to the stage. Simplistic in nature but far from ordinary, the Sonic Precision Bass serves as a fantastic gateway into the world of bass guitar, whether you’re discovering music or creating it.
Iconic sound, modernized
The sound of the Precision Bass’s split single-coil pickup has fueled countless rhythm sections, spanning vastly different styles and genres, including hard rock, pop, reggae, and punk. Achieving pop-punk’s trebly plink, metal’s heavy chugs, or even reggae’s thick, wide thud is fast and easy with just a few tweaks to the Sonic Precision Bass’s Tone control. This spread of versatile tones gets a final punchy boost from the pickup’s modern ceramic magnets. Expect familiar sounds, but with extra heft, whether you’re plugging into a traditional amplifier or a recording interface.
Comfortable and fast maple neck
With its satin-finished maple neck and smooth laurel fingerboard, the Squier Sonic Precision Bass is a fast-fretting player across all 20 frets. From pros to beginners, bassists value the slick playability these tonewoods provide. The Sonic Precision Bass’s neck features a C-shape profile, a modern standard that’s comfortable for most players. Finally, the snappy character of the maple neck gives the Sonic Precision Bass the essence that’s remained a staple of iconic bass tones throughout history.
