AMERICAN PERFORMER PRECISION BASS®
The very first electric bass is still a favorite among players from all genres, from rock to R&B. Born in Corona, California, the American Performer Precision Bass delivers the exceptional tone and feel you expect from this icon, while adding new, player-oriented features and specially-designed Yosemite™ pickups that give a modern touch to its punchy sound.
- Yosemite™ single-coil J Bass® bridge and split-coil P Bass® middle pickups
- Greasebucket™ tone system
- Tapered-shaft tuning machines
PRECISION BASS YOSEMITE PICKUPS
Designed as a set with each calibrated for its respective position, Precision Bass Yosemite pickups are the first specially-created alnico pickups offered at this price point. Each pickup uses formvar-coated wire for classic tones with open, expressive highs, and the flat-staggered alnico 5 magnets add presence, bass and output for a slightly updated take on the punchy, electrified sounds of the P Bass.
ALL-NEW YOSEMITE™ PICKUPS
Our all-new Yosemite pickups work hard to deliver the sound you need for the performance you want. Custom-voiced for each instrument in the series, these unique alnico pickups offer tones as dynamic and expressive as the musician playing them.
GREASEBUCKET™ TONE CIRCUIT
One of several key features designed to add tonal variety with a quick flick of the wrist, this agile tone system lets you cut treble without losing gain or muddying your sound.
SATIN FINISHES
The American Performer Series features updated finishes, including satin versions of classics like Sonic Blue and Surf Green, and new colors Penny and Aubergine.
