General

If you want the classic look of an American Precision bass with all the perks of modern technology in terms of tone and comfort, then look no further than this Fender American Elite P Bass. This instrument has a PJ pickup configuration and an active 18-volt preamp that combine to give you a wide tonal palette. With the 2-way pickup switch, it's easy to toggle between active and passive mode, and with the pan potentiometer, you can select either the Elite Precision Bass split-coil in the mid position or the 4th Generation Noiseless single-coil at the bridge. The volume and 3-band EQ make this American Elite Precision Bass' electronics complete.

American Elite Precision Bass: compound and alder

To achieve that comfortable feel and full sound, the P-style body of this bass is made of alder and has a rugged Fender 4-Saddle HiMass Vintage bridge for long sustain and sublime intonation. The focus on quality really shows through on this American Elite's compound neck profile, which goes from a Modern C to a D, and its compound fretboard radius, which goes from 9.5 inches up to 14 inches. It features a satin-gloss finish and a maple neck with an ebony fretboard that delivers the necessary punch as well as smooth playing comfort.
