Fender® invented the electric bass guitar, introducing the Precision Bass® in 1951. Its thick sound and indestructible build changed the face of popular music. The American Standard Precision Bass® is today's version of the great instruments of bass heroes past and present. The modern interpretations of our classic instrument, refined for today's players. This left-handed version of the new American Standard Precision Bass® features our new high-mass vintage bridge, a thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance, new and improved Fender® tuning keys that keep the classic look but are 30 percent lighter, a richer and deeper neck tint for a more elegant appearance, and a great-looking glossed rosewood fingerboard and satin back for smooth playability.
