FEN*0198602302 (American Performer Precision Bass Maple Fingerboard – Satin Lake Placid Blue)

A modern expression of the solidbody electric bass that started it all, Fender’s American Performer Precision Bass delivers the latest in US-made quality and value. A comfortable, ultra-fast modern C-shaped maple neck and lightweight, contoured alder body make the American Performer Precision Bass addictively playable. And it’s equipped with Fender’s powerful, punchy Yosemite P/J pickups and their amazing Greasebucket tone circuit that lets you roll off the highs without sacrificing volume or low-end grunt. Finished in one of Fender’s flashy new colors, the American Performer Precision Bass looks as good as it sounds.

Lay down the groove with a modern classic
For their American Performer Series basses, Fender went back to the drawing board with cool new colors, their renowned Greasebucket tone circuit, and a calibrated, shellac-dipped Yosemite single-coil pickup set that cranks out legendary Fender tone by the truckload. There’s never been a better time to get into a genuine, American-made Fender bass. Sweetwater’s advice: pick up an American Performer Series bass and lay down the groove with a modern classic.

Versatile P/J pickup configuration
Whether you’re recording direct in the studio or plugged into a massive tube amp stack onstage, enough can’t be said about the usefulness of playing a bass with both Precision and Jazz Bass pickups. There’s nothing like the fat, punchy sound of a P Bass split single-coil pickup. It sits in a track like nobody’s business. And being able to dial in the perfect amount of Jaco-style J Bass growl is nothing short of tonal nirvana. It’s really the best of both worlds.
