PJ Pickup Configuration

The American Elite Precision Bass is crafted to deliver every tone that modern bass players could require, spanning the decades from vintage to modern. The middle-position Elite Precision Bass pickup gives the thump and mid-focussed sound of the vintage Precision Bass - perfect for funk and Motown sounds. The bridge-position Jazz Bass pickup gives the bite required for more modern styles of music. Fender's 4th Generation Noiseless pickups provide optimal noise-reduction without any loss of the iconic single-coil tone, so you'll still be guaranteed a full-bodied sound with nuance and clarity.

18V Preamp

The onboard 18v preamp gives the Elite Precision Bass even more tonal versatility, with a 3-band EQ and an active/passive switch letting you disengage the preamp should you wish to play battery-free. The preamp is complemented by the noiseless pickups, providing a high headroom and huge scope for adjustment.

American Elite Neck with Compound Profile and Fingerboard

The American Elite Precision Bass has a thoroughly-modern neck, with a compound radius and compound profile. As you climb the neck it becomes thinner and flatter, giving enhanced string-balance and comfort in different regions. The satin-finish ensures a slick playing-feel while the sculpted neck joint enables even easier access to the top frets.

Classic Alder Body

The iconic Precision Bass outline provides optimal playing comfort, with a forearm contour and tummy contour. The body is constructed from alder for a bright and resonant tonality.

Professional Hardware

A HiMass Bridge gives the American Elite Bass greatly enhanced sustain and resonance, along with solid tuning stability and full adjustment over action and intonation. A bone nut also helps with resonance while the light-weight "F" vintage-paddle tuners help with the overall balance of the guitar. The bass comes in a redesigned ABS Elite Moulded Case with TSA locks, so you'll be ready to gig straight-away.

Reviews

Premier Guitar:

" From a one-bass-fits-all perspective, the American Elite Precision has it. Fender has managed to capture the essence of a classic P, add a pinch of Jazz, and blend them together with the tonal prowess of a high-end custom instrument. Yes, plenty of basses are marketed as built for all styles of music, but the American Elite Precision can truly back this claim. From jazz to funk to rock to death metal, this bass will carry the load."
