Specs: Standard Precision BassŪ Fender invented the Electric Bass in 1951 in response to requests from musicians for a louder, easier-to-handle bass. This new instrument was named the Precision Bass. Unlike its predecessor-- the acoustic stand-up bass, the P-BassŪ had frets, which allowed bassists to play with precision. Needless to say, a "new playing sensation" was born and the sound of popular music changed forever. The new Fender Standard Precision features a comfort-contoured body, rosewood fingerboard and split-coil hum canceling pickup.
