Fender P Bass
First things first I must point out that I'm a guitar player and that I just needed a new bass for some home recordings. My previous bass was a cheaper Ibanez soundgear. I was somewhat unsure about the Pau ferro fretboard but it plays and sounds wonderful. Aesthetically, I still prefer the look of rosewood but I'm a guitar player and while I only buy American made guitars its… read more harder for me to justify the price of an American bass. This MIM player series bass plays and sounds Wonderful. Exactly what I was looking for in a P Bass for my recordings. Also, it was somewhat concerning to buy and have a bass shipped to me without a case but the guys at Sweetwater are excellent at packing and shipping guitars. It was shipped safely inside 2 boxes with plenty of packing. Exactly how they shipped my last 2 guitars (Fender American Strat and Gibson Les Paul standard) minus the case of course. If you looking at this don't hesitate any longer. This IS the bass your looking for at a much more friendly price.
Fender Players Precision Bass
Never owned a bass guitar. Was searching Sweetwater for a couple weeks and decided you can't go wrong with a classic like a Fender P-bass and that was the right move. Feels great and sounds even better. Got a Rumble 25 to go with. Still a full-time 6-string player but proud to own my first bass. As always the 5 stars apply to Sweetwater as well. Amazing selection, great advice and… read more fast shipping.
Great bass!
Over the past 2 years, I've bought maybe 5 Precision basses and returned all of them, even sold an American standard that I didn't like for a loss. Something just didn't feel right about any of these instruments. But this one feels very good. Most of the Mexican ones I'd bought and returned previously were the old Standard range. I'm not sure if Fender just upped their game with… read more the Player series or Sweetwater just gets the good ones, but something's different. Gone are the sharp fret edges. This isn't American craftsmanship but it's pretty close. The body is much more balanced than the MIMs I'd bought previously. No neck dive. And the tone is classic P-Bass. The instrument itself is light . I own a 2011 American Standard Jazz Bass and it weighs a ton compared to this instrument. Matthew LaMarche, thank you for picking out a winner for me!
Great buy!
Taught myself to play drums originally, but decided I wanted to branch out and try to wrap my head around something with strings. This bass is wonderful for a beginner or a seasoned player. The range of sound is amazing (coupled with a Fender Rumble 100), and the look and feel are awesome, too.
IMPRESSIVE!
I am really happy with this bass. I have a USA 50's reissue P bass and this Player Series actually plays better. The neck is absolutely perfect and the satin finish on the back of neck feels like silk. I play through a 1980's Peavey TNT combo amp with a 15" speaker and I can't believe the sound. I might buy the Jazz model next.
