The Fender American Performer Precision Bass delivers exactly what its name would suggest: precise performance. Its unique pickup set includes a split-coil Yosemite pickup in the middle and a single-coil Yosemite on the bridge, both with flat-staggered pole pieces and wired with Greasebucket circuitry, offering lush, dynamic tones that run the gamut from hot and growling to cool and clean, and the solid maple neck is carved to a “Modern C” profile and features a 21-fret, 9.5-radius maple fingerboard that comfortably suits virtually any playing style.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
The Fender American Performer Series makes American-made quality accessible to every player. Six new models, handcrafted in Corona, California, highlight the traditional design of Fender’s most celebrated guitars, while adding new innovations and modern components to enhance tone, performance, and feel.
