The Evolution of a Legend
The Fender American Professional II Precision Bass V takes everything you love about the iconic P-Bass and elevates it for the modern player. It’s the result of over sixty years of refinement—an instrument that feels instantly familiar yet delivers a whole new level of versatility and playability. That low B-string opens up a world of sonic possibilities, anchored by the kind of punch and growl that has defined countless genres. This isn’t just a bass; it’s a piece of history, ready to make some more.
V-Mod II: The Heart of the Beast
At the core of this bass is the V-Mod II split-coil Precision Bass V pickup. Fender absolutely nailed it here. They’ve managed to deliver more articulation and clarity than ever before, all while retaining that classic, fat P-Bass punch. Whether you’re laying down a solid foundation in the pocket or stepping out for a melodic run, every note has weight, definition, and that unmistakable Fender character. It’s the sound you’ve heard on thousands of records, now with an even wider sonic palette.
Effortless Playability
The moment you pick this bass up, your hand will fall in love with the ’63 “C” neck profile. It’s a classic for a reason—comfortable, substantial, and just plain right. Fender’s “Super-Natural” satin finish on the back of the neck feels incredible, offering a smooth, fast playing experience without any stickiness. Add in the rolled fingerboard edges and the newly sculpted neck heel for easy upper-fret access, and you have a bass that’s an absolute dream to play for hours on end.
Rock-Solid Stability
From the ground up, this bass is built to perform. The 5-saddle HiMass™ Vintage bridge can be strung through the body or top-loaded, giving you options while seriously enhancing sustain and resonance. Inside the neck, Posiflex™ graphite rods provide incredible stability, fighting against any movement from climate changes. To top it off, the lightweight vintage-style tuners with tapered shafts ensure a solid break angle over the bone nut for killer tuning stability. This bass is road-ready and studio-approved.
