Fender American Professional Classic Precision Bass MN Faded Lake Placid Blue

A "Classic" Precision Bass in the Fender Tradition, Built for Today's Musicians

The Precision Bass is one of the most recorded instruments in history, valued for its simplicity and effectiveness. This American Professional Classic Precision Bass embraces the aesthetic codes and personality of vintage models (details, finishes, retro-style hardware), while adopting manufacturing choices focused on performance: modern comfort, stability, and electronics designed to remain musical in all situations.

For Which Bassists and Styles?

With its Precision Bass format and "pro" approach, this bass is aimed equally at intermediate bassists seeking a reliable upgrade and advanced players who want a versatile working instrument. It excels in rock, pop, funk, soul, blues, and contemporary music: where a bass is expected to fill the mix with authority while maintaining clear definition on fingerstyle, pick, or palm mute playing.

Sound

The alder body provides a very "Fender" balance: full low-mids, sharp attacks, and consistent dynamics, ideal for holding its place without overpowering. The maple neck and maple fingerboard add clarity and responsiveness, with a precise attack feel. The Coastline '60 Split Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup delivers the sought-after blend of depth and punch, with articulation that remains clear even in a dense mix. The Greasebucket tone circuit allows for progressive treble roll-off while maintaining a clean and usable response to transition from a bright sound to a rounder tone.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To keep the original setup, a long scale roundwound string set with gauge .045-.105 (Fender 7250M type) is the safest choice. For maintenance and adjustments, plan for a 3/16" / 4.76 mm Allen wrench compatible with the specified truss rod nut to precisely adjust neck relief. The bass comes with a Deluxe gig bag, so you are ready for rehearsals and gigs.
