The Fender Precision Bass has stood the test of time as a classic design used by countless bassists. The P-Bass provides a mid-focused attack with its single split-coil pickup that will stand out in any mix. It is the ideal instrument for pop, jazz, funk, Motown, and almost any other style that requires a punchy sound.
This signature bass guitar is a limited-edition model and features the striking Purple Sparkle finish which contrasts perfectly with the maple neck and fingerboard. You won't see many of these bass guitars around, so if you're looking for a signature aesthetic combined with the classic Fender J-Bass Design, this will be the perfect instrument.
The Adam Clayton Precision Bass features a custom ''C'' profile neck that fits comfortably in the left hand. The 9.5'' radius provides a vintage feel, in combination with the vintage medium frets. The double cutaway design of the guitar allows easy access along the whole fingerboard, while the bolt-on neck design and contoured body sit comfortably in your lap.
The Custom Shop '60s Split Single-Coil Pickups give this guitar the punchy and mid-focussed sound of the 60's. This is the perfect tone for standing out in the mix and, with the master volume and tone controls, will give just enough tone-sculpting potential to work well in any genre.
The pickups are mounted to a resonant and bright sounding alder body, which has a comfortable weight and contour for playing stood up or sat down. The guitar features vintage-inspired hardware and a HiMass bridge for superior sustain and string vibration transference. With its Purple Sparkle finish and vintage-inspired appointments, the Adam Clayton Signature model is the ideal gigging instrument with a real stand-out aesthetic.
