Launched in 1951, the P bass still rules 75 years later as the most popular and best-selling electric bass in the world.
The Precision Bass revolutionized music 75 years ago and has remained the pulse of modern music ever since. Its total reinvention of the bass changed the sound, playability and future of bass. It was a seismic shift in songwriting and a transformation in touring. Every player who picks up the Precision Bass expands its universe of possibility, keeping it forever on the frontlines of culture. R&B, rock, punk, metal and emerging creators, if it’s been played, it’s been played on a P Bass.
