The Precision Bass is a popular solid body electric bass equipped with a single humbucking pickup and maple neck. It is produced in Mexico along with other Standard Series guitars and updated in 2008 with CBS-era style decals and a tinted maple neck. Since 1992, the Standard Precision Bass has used transitional decals that were changed to a bolder CBS-style in 2008.

1. In its stock configuration, the Precision Bass is an alder or ash-bodied solid body instrument
equipped with a single split-coil humbucking pickup and a one-piece maple neck with
rosewood or maple fingerboard and 20 frets. To this day, the Precision Bass is among the
best-selling electric basses of all time.
The Standard P-Bass is sanded, painted and assembled in Ensenada, Baja California,
Mexico along with the other Standard Series guitars. As of December 5, 2008, the Standard
P-Bass has been updated with CBS era-style decals, a 3-ply parchment pickguard and a tinted
maple neck with rosewood or maple fingerboard. Other features include a split-coil hum-
cancelling pickup and a return to the knurled chrome flat-top control knobs. Models produced
before 2003 came for a period with aged white Stratocaster control knobs.
Since its introduction in 1992, the Standard Precision Bass used (like the rest of the Standard
series instruments) a post-CBS era silver transitional decal. Fender changed the headstock
decal to the bolder CBS-style in 2008.
