I really like this series from Fender. Both Precision and Jazz retain classic essence with up to date features. Priced within reason too.
I play guitar, but I've never played bass. This makes me want to start. Such clean sound.
I own a P-Bass Pro (Version I) I didn't think there could be any improvement possible but watching and listening to this video, I can see (and hear) Fender nailed it!! I must admit I am a bit prejudiced, I own five Fender basses and I LOVE each and everyone of all! I've been playing Fender Basses for over 40 years, and you couldn't get me to switch!!
Has a clean tone, precision bass has a good cut to the mix. I like how it sounds like every expensive Fender bass it has a good clean tone.
Congratulations, Nicole!
Lol I remember when patd was auditioning new members. I wanted to audition so badly. Would’ve been a dream come true to tour with them.
Sound just amazing. So excellent result of your work! Yes. Its top quality.
Dang... The hate on slap... Lol. I just bought one and it is my favorite bass. Sounds fantastic with any style you are playing.
Amazing how fresh the Fender sounds! It makes you think: You don't need another bass.

I just bought the one she’s playing, and I want to put a gold anodized pick guard on it. I’ve been looking for a picture of one.
I have a 2012 Fender American Standard precision bass with custom a shop 60's precision bass pickup, the same colors but I don't have the maple fretboard. I totally love it. I bought it brand new 7 years ago.

Mad chops!
Played one today at guitar center, then played the $799 player p bass I think, and a used p bass special edition deluxe. The American II stood out on all aspects. Wow, will be getting one in white soon, with prob rosewood neck over maple, unless someone has a good argument for maple over rosewood. What a nice bass.

They should make the A-necks again, like they did in the 70s. For people with smaller hands it is so essential. They do at Squier, for example the neck of the Pete Wentz is perfect. I want this on a real Fender Precision Bass, too.

@@CNick75 Yes, I think so, but I did not mention it for myself. I have two Fender A-neck Precision Basses from the 70s (one 1974 and one from 1976), so I am very well covered. I just thought there should be a market for Fender to reissue these models. I'm surprised they don't do it. There are reissues of almost all versions of old Fender instruments.
Why can't someone do demo with beffy groove not just slap all the time.

Great demo & beautiful bass but can I ask what amp head you are using & what effects any ?
Everyone complaining about a slap demo instead of a classy bass line. When you pick up a bass and give it test drive- slap is an excellent way to get a feel for control and over all sound- you get bottom end with high end over tones in one swoop, also one can slap with tone dial in diffrent positions... if slap technique sounds good then there's a solid chance all other tones, styles and techniques will sound just as good. Im no expert musician but I own three fender basses and a few other brands and been playing bass since 1992.
fender made the best P Bass ever, the Dimension HH. I have not played another Fender so perfect.

I think the pickups in the Pro II are a bit too hot for both the P and J basses. You hear a bit too much clicking of the strings and fret noise. The older pickups, although slightly a bit noisy (hiss), had a better limiting factor so that you didn't hear too much string clicking, etc
I do like her sounds .
So the new pups are like G&L mfds(hotter, but more traditional when rolling it back). That's not a bad thing. 👍🏽
You really gonna talk about the classic Motown p bass sound while slapping the sh*t out of it lol

it won't be bad for the neck, if you only drop the E (DADG) string, but if you go into D ( DGCF) tuning you will/might need to adjust the trussrod. But not bad for the neck although no one would want to adjust the trussrod all the time to compensate for this.

This bass, as I heard and watch, has a clean and unique bass sound. Very awesome and unique. I wanted to buy one, but a custom one. I love a p bass with a 24 fret bass. I've been using a 34 scale since high school, so I'm fond of using a 34 scale. But how much does a fender p bass cost if I were to order a custom bass? I wanted to buy one with the scale of 34, which is a 24 fret bass. So um, amy ideas, suggestions, or comments, I'm always open. Thanks.
