American Performer Precision Bass | American Performer Series | Fender

Right away this sounds better than its expensive brother the Ultra P-Bass, its punchy and high definition, the Ultra is kind
of digital sounding. And $500 cheaper.

Bought myself a white body/black pick-guard one (I originally wanted the Ultra P bass aged natural but they’re discontinued now). In love with the P and J in one, no buyer’s remorse, and I highly recommend this baby to anyone!

Is passive mode available on this bass?

The headstock looks a bit odd on that. The Player series stock looks better honestly.

Bought this bass new but was humming a lot and electronics were out of whack & not working properly...gave it back to shop and traded upwards. Shame...

Jeff Andrews was have simular bass.

So glad you actually played the E-string!! And open at that!! Most reviews concentrate on the 12th fret and above! Great review!

does the jazz pickup hum when the p pickup is turned off? on my jazz when I solo either pickup, I get hum

Just picked this one up last weekend as my first bass. Might have been a little overkill but I didn't care. I wanted it.

I want that bass guitar.

Pete Griffin? He sure has lost some weight since family guy

i so want this. that black on blue is great

"The front pickup"
No

Im not impressed why try to fix something that wasn't broken in the first place fender got it right in the 70s and 80s and now they say hey look we made it better 😂 yeah right todays designer's are a pale shadow of those of the past. The pickups sound to sensitive grinding on the frets its still a nice bass but its not better its just them pulling another 1 over you saying its better and hoping you believe it

Lol...Get a good bass player ffs

Why no high mass bridge?

No slap?

We need a five string, please!

Why do we hear so much fret buzzing on a commercial for a nice Bass?

I have this bass and i love it it sounds so damn cool

Bajos mejicanos hechos por mejicanos en usa, no hay nada más que sorprenda como algo maravilloso.

Está chingon

Nicole Row's video on this exact same bass is like 2 million views hahahha ohh lawd... anyways, great bass this one, great color too!

I have a one

Ghs medium flatwounds sound great
on these,more ole school bassy sound. Just spreading the word.

I still believe fender needs to put the high mass bridge like on the nate mendel model on all there basses.

Does anyone own this bass? I bought one recently and i can hardly tell any difference between the Tone Knob all the way down or all the way up! Here in this video the difference is clear.

Ideal bass to gig with! Maximum versatility due to the additional jazz bass pickup and moderately priced so you don't end up breaking the bank to get your hands on one. Moment Fender comes out with more color/pickguard variations as well as a left-handed option for folks like myself is when they'll start seeing a lot more backorders for it.

Sounds great. I love the color.

Me exite con el sonido perdón...

Bring davie504 and adam neely make a signature player series /squier bass for them

There’s no reason to buy this instead of an American G&L.

Clicked because i thought that guy look like Thom Yorke from the thumbnail

when you get a bass guitar is it compulsory to have a bass amp or can you use the same amp you’d use for an electric guitar?

Stop taking all of my money fender!!!

Rick Grimes? Plays bass?!

I love these showcase videos!

It sounds really good, especially with the effects pedal.

Is that a '70s style spacing PJ?

5 strings? You have

I own 2 American made Fender basses,and as far as I'm concerned,an American made Fender Bass is the best by far!! But damn....... just how many versions of the p-bass and j-bass are they gonna make? This bass is no better than any of the previous American made models they've come out with!! Come on Fender!! it's time for something totally new, that has nothing to do with the p-bass or j-bass!!

Cool bass. The J pickup seems to have a significantly different voice in the upper mids / high frequencies compared to the traditional Fender J / bridge tone. And kudos to Pete for doing such a great job on these videos. Seems like a cool guy.

for a moment there i thought it was thom yorke playing the fender bass. completely unintentional i'm sure. :)

i love fender🖤
