Updated for ultimate comfort and playability, the Fender Player II Precision Bass serves up a rosewood or maple modern-C shaped neck with a satin finish and rolled edges. Go retro with a classic three-color sunburst or black finish, or rock one of the new, vintage-inspired colors that have never before been on a production model P Bass. The Player II Precision Bass also features an alder body, Alnico V split single-coil pickup and 20 medium-jumbo frets.

“My dad is a bass player, and he told me, ‘You don’t pick your bass, your bass picks you,’ and here I am with a P Bass,” says bassist (Olivia Rodrigo GUTS world tour), songwriter and former Guitar Center team member Moa Munoz. “To me, the quintessential P Bass sound cuts through really well in a band setting. It’s bright, punchy and warm. Many players leave the volume and tone knobs at 10—and, trust me, I’d leave mine at 11 if I could—but I’ll roll off the tone for more muted sounds. I also play with a pick to get some grit for rock riffs, my fingers for a rounder tone and my thumb when I want a real ‘plonk-y’ sound.

“I don’t think you need to spend thousands of dollars on a bass if you have a good guitar tech. For example, in the time I’ve had to beat up this Player II Precision a little, I don’t know if I could tell the difference between it and the ’60s P Bass we use at the studio.”
