Precision Bass

A Precision Bass, often called a P-Bass, is a type of electric bass guitar first introduced by Fender in 1951. It was the world’s first mass-produced solid-body electric bass and revolutionised music by allowing bassists to play with greater volume and precision than the upright bass. Known for its split single-coil pickup (introduced in 1957), the P-Bass delivers a warm, punchy tone that suits a wide range of genres, from rock and punk to soul and funk. Its simple, ergonomic design, typically with one pickup and two knobs (volume and tone), has made it a favourite among countless bass players for decades due to its reliability, powerful sound, and comfortable feel.
