- Hey everyone, this is Zuri Appleby for Fender.
I'm playing the Fender American Pro II Precision Bass.
I'm going to demonstrate some tones
and I'll play a few different styles for you.
And then we'll talk about all of the amazing features.
As professional musicians,
we rely on our instruments,
night after night,
year after year, without fail.
Whether you're traveling the globe,
on tour or logging a ton of hours,
grinding it out in the studio.
The American Professional Guitars and Basses,
were designed to be that GoTo workhorse instrument,
providing the performance you need to be successful.
And now after four years of listening,
watching, working, and collaborating with you,
we've made the American Professional Series even better.
I have the American pro II Precision Bass and Mercury
and I'm plugged into the Rumble 800 Heading Cabinet.
In the intro, I had the volume of tone all the way up.
Let's adjust the tone back a bit
to get a nice more vintage tone.

So many great features to talk about.
Let's start with the body.
It has an Alder body.
Again, this color is mercury.
It's also available in a number of other colors
with Rosewood or Maple Fretboards.
A key highlight, are the V-Mod II Precision Bass Pickups
which are modified versions
of our classic vintage pickup designs.
The bridge is string through or top load
and has improved attack.
Thanks to a cold rolled steel baseplate,
high mass Brass backstop
and Chrome plated Brass saddles.
And if I turn the base over,
you can see the sculpted neck heel
and beveled neck plate.
It makes access to the upper registers so easy
and super comfortable.

Considered by many
to be the gold standard of base neck profiles,
American Professional II Precision Bass,
features at 63 P Bass Neck Profile,
nine and a half inch radius fingerboard
and 20 narrow tall frets.
The Fender's supernatural Satin finish on the back,
looks amazing.
And it also eliminates any chances
of your hand sticking to it,
which is a great feature.
And the hand rolled fingerboard edges,
gives it that plate and feel.

The Precision Pickup is no stranger to heavier tones.
Let's check out what it sounds like
if I add a little overdrive.

Thanks for tuning in, to check out
the Fender American Professional II Precision Bass.
Amazing tone and feel,
completely versatile for any gig
and with that Classic Fender Design and Style.
We covered a few of the key highlights,

Bye.
