Guitarist of 40 years. I bought my first jazz bass in March of ‘22. I completely fell in love with everything about it. Haven’t looked back. 4 bass guitars and 2 bass amps later…😊 I play bass around 99% of the time since then. Did you end up starting bass too?
yeah but do those have rolled edges? do they have the edges you need to be today's player? for 70 years Fender hasn't got the rolled edges right, until now...
@@ezzong Outside of some of the crazy Victor Wooten-type super fast stuff, its not even that hard though. Its more like doing hammer ons and pull offs on guitar. Looks flashy but isn't all that hard to learn how to do.
@@moonlitegram yes that's the point i'm trying to make, people are easily bored of those techniques because many are used not for serving the music, but for showing off.
I own a P-Bass Pro (Version I) I didn't think there could be any improvement possible but watching and listening to this video, I can see (and hear) Fender nailed it!! I must admit I am a bit prejudiced, I own five Fender basses and I LOVE each and everyone of all! I've been playing Fender Basses for over 40 years, and you couldn't get me to switch!!
I totally agree with you. I had the same thing with an acoustic guitar that I was serious about buying. All the reviews had people playing in open tunings and playing ninety thousand notes a minute, which was of no help to me. Finally I found a review where the guy played ordinary chords, strummed and fingerstyle, which gave me a much better idea of how the guitar might sound in my hands. I guess Fender would say that it is a pro level bass, being played by a pro level player. But I would still like to hear how it sounds on a slow blues or a Motown number, not just fast slap bass.
It’s through life cost will be very low. In 50 years time it will still be a stage grade instrument that required very little maintenance. That’s been my experience with a P-Bass I bought in 1974. 😊
Like a few other comments are saying why are all the bass review videos slap bass, They don’t slap bass the whole song while on tour so why is this slap bass ?
@@tswrench You're not really addressing my initial comment. Attacking my chops is irrelevant. I can criticize a shitty demo for what it is, even if I suck.
Nice bass. Its my fave instrument. But dang,all that thumb slappin be be boop boop stuff isnt my thing. Its like people think because its a bass review, they have to get funky with it. Theres more to life than funk music. Much more. ;)
I just bought one - it's magnificent. Although not as magnificent as the one being played by Nicole - which, obviously, is dubble magnificent. Her groove is all the thrills.
what's with the "rolled edges"? They told us a revision or 2 ago that they rolled the edges then, big selling point. Are they saying they didn't roll the edges right the first time? Leo knocks it out of the park back in the 1950's, by '57 he had it perfect but now it takes them 10 years just to get the rolled edges right...
It did, the only thing new with the neck is a "more sculpted heel" I don't know why she made it seem like a new feature, she did the same thing with the bridge.
Your Bassguitar performance is very nice and perfect! It's the best! I support you as a friend. I wish you good health and good luck with the god you believe in.👍👍👍👍🙏👏🎁㊗️㊗️🇰🇷💟
I think the pickups in the Pro II are a bit too hot for both the P and J basses. You hear a bit too much clicking of the strings and fret noise. The older pickups, although slightly a bit noisy (hiss), had a better limiting factor so that you didn't hear too much string clicking, etc
Slap in and of itself isn't funky. Most of the time it's a bass player overplaying trying to show off. It's overdone. Bootsy used the slap for funk. Victor wooten is a show off
They should make the A-necks again, like they did in the 70s. For people with smaller hands it is so essential. They do at Squier, for example the neck of the Pete Wentz is perfect. I want this on a real Fender Precision Bass, too.
@@CNick75 Yes, I think so, but I did not mention it for myself. I have two Fender A-neck Precision Basses from the 70s (one 1974 and one from 1976), so I am very well covered. I just thought there should be a market for Fender to reissue these models. I'm surprised they don't do it. There are reissues of almost all versions of old Fender instruments.
These high end Fender basses are simply made the way Fender used to build all of their basses. You had your P-bass and your J-bass. You didn't have different trim levels, lmao.
Sad but true. For a moment I lost myself in local music store and tested out some high end Fender jazz bass. Damn.. Can't sleep anymore. And precision has that character also.. But having them both is just too silly to even think about. Damn..
Hey quick question. I play a 4 string pbass, and would like to play different kinds of music. If I tune it down from standard tuning to drop d often will it affect the neck?
it won't be bad for the neck, if you only drop the E (DADG) string, but if you go into D ( DGCF) tuning you will/might need to adjust the trussrod. But not bad for the neck although no one would want to adjust the trussrod all the time to compensate for this.
Maybe she actually wants to slap, but Brendon Urie banned her from doing it on P!ATD songs? (apparently the LGBT snowflakes who make up most of Panic’s fanbase get triggered by it - they say it’s cultural appropriation)
Played one today at guitar center, then played the $799 player p bass I think, and a used p bass special edition deluxe. The American II stood out on all aspects. Wow, will be getting one in white soon, with prob rosewood neck over maple, unless someone has a good argument for maple over rosewood. What a nice bass.
I just received mine in Olympic White with the rosewood fingerboard. Looks, sounds and plays great. Hope you come to love yours as much as I love mine.
@@kenwilson5453 that’s awesome man. Enjoy! I know I will someday soon when I get mine. They really are amazing. I can’t stop looking them up online, and playing my jazz bass until then.
Man... I'm at loss. I might trade up my Gibson Thunderbird for this. One of the shops near me has this in the Miami Blue color... I used to have an American Standard pbass... any idea how these compare?
Thanks for the Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you considered - Riddleagan Skillful Playing Remedy (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one off guide for learning complex guitar chords and become a pro without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend after many years got excellent results with it.
I have a 2012 Fender American Standard precision bass with custom a shop 60's precision bass pickup, the same colors but I don't have the maple fretboard. I totally love it. I bought it brand new 7 years ago.
Everyone complaining about a slap demo instead of a classy bass line. When you pick up a bass and give it test drive- slap is an excellent way to get a feel for control and over all sound- you get bottom end with high end over tones in one swoop, also one can slap with tone dial in diffrent positions... if slap technique sounds good then there's a solid chance all other tones, styles and techniques will sound just as good. Im no expert musician but I own three fender basses and a few other brands and been playing bass since 1992.
I see, the men of culture have been reunited again.
Nothing can beat a P bass
Yeah she's mad pretty, and the lady isn't too bad
Indeed..
@Viruoso can't lie lolz
Late at night and I saw this… men of culture how y’all doing? Good?
I really like this series from Fender. Both Precision and Jazz retain classic essence with up to date features. Priced within reason too.
Fender changed product name from standard to pro and raised price. Our money is used for this kind of marketing lol. She is good though.
Nope. The pro is actually different. Its a high end version, with better hardware, bridge etc.
I play guitar, but I've never played bass. This makes me want to start. Such clean sound.

You really gonna talk about the classic Motown p bass sound while slapping the sh*t out of it lol
Gotta thank the editor for that.
Somewhere Jamerson is reaching for another bottle of corn liquor.
Epico
Why can't someone do demo with beffy groove not just slap all the time.
Ivan Tadić no
well, you could watch her demo on the Jazz bass......zero slapping. the P Bass is the text book slap bass so I think it makes sense.
There goes that guy
'cause slapping is EPICO ;)
@@flarfadelic5654 Actually, it's the opposite,
Why all tested are using slap? Precisión bass Is an ideal bass to play like Rocco prestia, FINGER STYLE
I agree with you 100 %.
Fender needs to lower price range on all basses...
There's the Player series or Squier instruments, I think they pretty much cover all price ranges.
Vote Trump and maybe you can afford it… or get a better job
2k.. no thanks. Save up some more and get a proper Custom Shop bass or a 70's vintage
yeah but do those have rolled edges? do they have the edges you need to be today's player? for 70 years Fender hasn't got the rolled edges right, until now...
@@rrdream2400 I like electric basses and electric guitars with out roled edges
Save up more money? This bass is around $1,600 average! 70s vintage? Huh?? Must be nice having $2K plus just to claim you own a vintage bass.
Dang... The hate on slap... Lol. I just bought one and it is my favorite bass. Sounds fantastic with any style you are playing.
Ah yes, the bass, I like percussion instruments too, very interesting.
Has a clean tone, precision bass has a good cut to the mix. I like how it sounds like every expensive Fender bass it has a good clean tone.
I want to hear finger sounds more. Tired listening slap slap slap...
agree. im so tired of slap
Slap is the bassists' equivalent of sweep picking for guitarist. It is hard and impressive, but keep showing it off and it's a major turn off.

Your right
They don’t slap bass the whole song while on tour so why is this slap bass ?
The Precision is and always will be the bass . . .
the new sunburst is so dark, the older ones had a lot more yellow, and brighter.
I think the one in the video is Tabaco-burst.
@@xtremeusher they call it 3 tone sunburst on the Fender site
I like the newer bursts better. The vintage ones are always done too bright IMO
sales tricks? :-)
It IS very nice, but it also is extremely expensive. The new pickup and a tiny bit different body shape just doesn't justify the huge price jump.
