V-Mod II Precision Bass Pickup

At the heart of this bass is Fender's proprietary V-Mod II split-coil Precision Bass pickup. This isn't a vintage reissue - it's a modern interpretation voiced for today's players while maintaining classic P-Bass character. The result is the legendary Precision Bass thump with enhanced clarity, definition, and output. From Motown to metal, this pickup delivers the authoritative low-end and punchy midrange that has made the P-Bass the most recorded bass in history.

Black Gloss Finish

The Black gloss finish is timeless and professional - a classic color that looks stunning on stage, in the studio, or anywhere you play. Black Precision Basses have graced countless iconic performances and recordings across every genre. The gloss polyester finish protects the alder body while allowing it to resonate naturally.

Modern Playability

The Deep C neck profile strikes the perfect balance - substantial enough to feel solid and supportive, slim enough for fast playing and comfortable fretting. The Super-Natural satin finish on the back of the neck eliminates stickiness, allowing your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the fretboard. Combined with narrow tall frets and a 9.5" radius fingerboard, this bass plays as good as it looks.

HiMass Vintage Bridge

The HiMass Vintage bridge combines the best of both worlds - vintage aesthetics with enhanced mass for improved sustain and resonance. The increased mass transfers string energy more efficiently to the body, resulting in better note definition and longer sustain while maintaining the classic Precision Bass look.

Whether you're a professional player demanding reliable performance night after night, a rock or funk bassist seeking the legendary P-Bass thump with modern clarity, a recording artist needing the most recorded bass tone in history, or a Precision Bass enthusiast who wants American quality with professional appointments, this Black beauty delivers. Its combination of iconic tone, premium features, and professional performance makes it the ultimate working musician's Precision Bass.
