Fender American Professional Precision Bass, Maple Fingerboard, Natural

The Fender American Professional Precision Bass in Natural with Maple Fingerboard is a USA-made, professional-grade electric bass built on more than seven decades of Precision Bass heritage. Constructed around an ash body with a gloss polyurethane finish, this instrument delivers the natural resonance and open grain aesthetic that working players and discerning enthusiasts appreciate. It suits both gigging bassists seeking reliability and studio players who require a refined, articulate P Bass voice.

Key features include a Modified 1963 "C" maple neck with rolled fretboard edges and a satin urethane finish on the back, providing smooth position changes and comfortable upper-register access. The sculpted neck heel further improves reach toward the higher frets. The 9.5" (241 mm) radius maple fretboard features 20 narrow tall frets and a bone nut for a consistent, performance-ready playing surface. Electronically, the bass is equipped with a single V-Mod III split single-coil Precision Bass pickup — designed for the punch and growl the P Bass is renowned for, with enhanced articulation over previous generations. Master volume and master tone controls keep the signal path direct, while ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque and a musical taper. The 4-saddle HiMass Pro bridge supports stringing through the body or top-loading, and is paired with Fender lightweight vintage-style tuners with tapered shafts. A 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard completes the classic Natural aesthetic.

The instrument ships with a Fender Deluxe Molded hardshell case, making it ready for transport from the outset. The standard 34" (864 mm) scale length, and 1.625" nut width align with the familiar dimensions players expect from a Precision Bass. Strings are Fender USA 7250M Nickel Plated Steel (.045–.105 Gauges). Built in the USA, this bass represents a confident choice for players who want professional-specification hardware and electronics in a classic Precision Bass format.

V-MOD III PICKUP
V-Mod III Precision Bass pickups are modified versions of our classic vintage pickup designs. Packed with the fundamental Fender bass sound you know and love, these split-coil pickups deliver the vintage warmth, punch and clarity that made Fender a legend.

MODIFIED '63 P BASS® NECK PROFILE
The American Professional III Precision Bass uses a modified '63 P Bass® neck profile — refined to be thicker at the 1st fret and thinner at the 12th fret for a more ergonomic playing experience. The Super-Natural satin finish on the back of the neck provides a smooth fret-hand feel complemented by rounded fingerboard edges.

POSIFLEX™ GRAPHITE RODS
All American Professional bass necks incorporate Posiflex™ graphite rods to reinforce against movement that can occur with fluctuations in the climate. Embedded beneath the fingerboard, they improve reliability on the road, in the studio or in your home.

HIMASS™ PRO BRIDGE
This precision-manufactured bass bridge increases sustain and note definition thanks to its high-mass construction delivering improved attack and resonance at every fret position.

CLASSICGEAR™ PRECISION™ POTENTIOMETERS
ClassicGear™ Precision™ Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper for effortless, reliable performance.

SCULPTED NECK HEEL
The rounded neck heel and beveled neck-plate improve access to the upper register and make leads easy and comfortable.
