Fender American Professional Precision Bass RW Oxblood 4-string Bassguitar

American Professional Precision Bass: Classic P-Bass Tone, Modern Refinement

The Fender American Professional Precision Bass RW Oxblood draws on more than seventy years of Precision Bass evolution in a USA-built instrument for today's working bassist. The Oxblood polyurethane finish over a traditional alder body gives this model a distinctive stage look. At its core, the V-Mod III split-coil pickup delivers the unmistakable P-Bass growl that has anchored countless recordings since 1951, now voiced with greater clarity. A bolt-on maple neck with the Modified 1963 "C" profile and Super-Natural satin finish keeps the playing feel smooth across all 20 frets. The Fender American Professional Precision Bass RW Oxblood is the right choice for bassists who want authentic Fender tone with contemporary comfort.

What Sets This Bass Apart

Two upgrades define the playing experience. The newly sculpted neck heel opens up access to the upper frets for soloing and slap techniques. The new V-Mod III split-coil pickup is more articulate than ever while delivering the punch and growl the P Bass is known for, and ClassicGear Precision potentiometers give smooth, consistent control with a musical taper.

Alder Body Construction — Balanced Tone and Stage-Ready Durability

Alder has long been Fender's go-to bass body wood because of its balanced response across lows, mids, and highs. Combined with a bolt-on maple neck, the construction delivers the snappy attack and resonant sustain that define the Precision Bass character.

• Body Material: Alder — balanced tonal response and manageable stage weight
• Finish: Polyurethane — durable, stage-ready protection
• Construction: Bolt-on neck — the classic Fender joint for bright attack and easy serviceability

Modified 1963 "C" Neck — Vintage Profile, Modern Comfort

The Modified 1963 "C" neck profile sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges and a newly sculpted neck heel, and the "Super-Natural" satin urethane finish on the back of the neck keeps the feel smooth during long sessions, while the rosewood fingerboard adds warmth to the upper register.

• Neck Material: Maple — bright attack and stable feel under string tension
• Neck Profile: Modified 1963 "C" — full yet comfortable shape suited to pick and fingerstyle
• Fingerboard: Rosewood, 241 mm (9.5") radius — modern-friendly curve with vintage warmth
• Scale Length: 864 mm (34") — standard P-Bass string tension and fundamental tone
• Nut: Bone, 41.3 mm (1.625") width — natural lubrication and authentic string spacing

V-Mod III Pickup and HiMass Pro Bridge — Pro-Grade Signal Chain

At the heart of this model's voice sits the new V-Mod III split-coil Precision Bass pickup, more articulate than ever while delivering the punch and growl the P Bass is known for. ClassicGear Precision potentiometers give smooth, consistent control, the 4-saddle HiMass Pro bridge (string-through-body or top-load) adds sustain, and lightweight vintage-style keys with tapered shafts keep tuning stable.

• Pickup: V-Mod III Split Single-Coil Precision Bass — classic P-Bass punch with refined articulation
• Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone — simple, time-tested layout for fast onstage adjustments
• Bridge: 4-Saddle HiMass Pro (string-through-body or top-load) — increased sustain
• Tuning Machines: Fender Lightweight Vintage-Style Keys with Tapered Shafts — stable tuning
• Case: Deluxe Molded Hardshell Case — included for transport and storage

Built for Working Bassists Who Want Authentic Fender Tone

This model is the right choice for gigging and studio bassists who need the classic P-Bass sound with modern playability upgrades. It suits players in rock, country, blues, gospel, and pop settings where the split-coil growl sits perfectly in the mix, and the Oxblood finish offers a distinctive stage look. Intermediate and advanced players will appreciate the sculpted neck heel for upper-register work, while the Narrow Tall frets and 9.5" radius support modern techniques. The included hardshell case makes it a turnkey purchase for touring musicians.

The Precision Bass Since 1951

Introduced by Fender in 1951 as the world's first successful electric bass guitar, the Precision Bass has remained in continuous production ever since. Over more than seven decades, the design has been refined through countless small changes while keeping the fundamental split-coil sound and 34" scale length. The American Professional series pairs the classic alder/maple/rosewood tonewood combination with the V-Mod III pickup system and the sculpted neck heel.
