Fender Player Precision Bass PF, Candy Apple Red

Full Description

Born to perform

Every inch of the Player P-Bass is crafted for performance. And it shows. A lightweight alder body lets players roam free on stage, along with an ergonomic, dual-cutaway design for maximum comfort - standing or sitting. Fender know better than anyone that a bass should enhance creativity. And this Player Series model is certainly no exception.

The maple neck is shaped into a modern “C”, fitting perfectly into the palm of your hand. This way, you can play every riff, chord, and solo with total control and precision. Satin-finished on the back and glossed on the front – all surfaces of the fretboard and neck are distinctively sleek. What this means, is that your fingers will soar across the pau ferro fingerboard whilst movement of your hand will remain fluid across the back of the neck, ideal for fast playing. Put simply, the Player Precision Bass won’t hold you back. Because, ultimately, Fender know what it takes to deliver a truly refined playing experience.

A musical icon

The original. When Leo Fender designed the very first Precision Bass in 1950, he could never have imagined the gigantic effect it would have on the world of music. Its incredible sound, playability, and style has seen it become an enduring fixture in the music of some of the world's very best artists.

The first widely used electric bass guitar, the Precision is synonymous with both quality and versatility. That's why a massive variety of musicians have all employed one in their music at one time or another. John Paul Jones, one of the greatest bassists of all-time, used one as Led Zeppelin rocked their way to super-stardom. Roger Waters played one as Pink Floyd became one of the greatest bands ever. Dee Dee Ramone helped invent punk with one. They've appeared in the music of Oasis, The Police, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, and Elvis Presley. Lasting pedigree.
