The Fender Standard Precision Bass®, Candy Apple Red

The Fender Standard Precision Bass® is a classic instrument that embodies the unmistakable sound and feel of the world’s first electric bass. Known for its punchy low end and straightforward design, the Precision Bass has been the backbone of countless recordings and live performances since 1951. This Standard Series model delivers that heritage with modern reliability, featuring a poplar body finished in Candy Apple Red and a comfortable Modern “C”‑shaped maple neck. Whether you’re holding down the groove in rock, blues, funk, or country, the Standard Precision Bass offers the iconic tone and playability that bassists have trusted for generations.

Equipped with a Standard split single‑coil Precision Bass pickup, this model produces the warm, full‑bodied sound that defines the P‑Bass legacy. The 9.5”‑radius fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets ensures smooth playability, while the 4‑saddle top‑load bridge with chrome steel barrel saddles provides accurate intonation and sustain. Open‑gear tuners with clover keys add vintage flair and tuning stability. With its simple control layout—master volume and master tone—the Standard Precision Bass is a dependable workhorse, perfect for players seeking authentic Fender tone at an accessible price point.
