- The Precision Bass was a truly revolutionary instrument when it was released in 1951. As music evolves, our instruments change in lockstep; the end result is today’s version, the American Professional Precision Bass. Follow along with Fender Signature Artist Sean Hurley (John Mayer, Ringo Starr, Alanis Morissette, Vertical Horizon) as he tours the historic instrument’s newest iteration.
Developed by longtime bass pickup master Michael Bump, the brand new V-Mod split-coil Precision Bass pickup uses a carefully selected blend of alnico magnet types for balanced tone. The “golden” ’63 P Bass neck profile nestles perfectly in the player’s hand, while the narrow-tall frets provide a familiar playing feel and perfect intonation.

Sean Hurley On the Fender American Professional Precision Bass | Fender

Sean Hurley is a such a class player, one of my all time favourites. It'd be good to hear him play this instrument with flats on it (or older rounds), where my hunch is where its sound would really shine.
I could listen to Sean groove on that thing all day. The instrument looks amazing, can't wait to try one out.
I own a professional V precision.this is an amazing precision bass.it isn't as ganky as a traditional P; it has a clarity that lends itself well to the B string.it sounds somewhere between a J and a P.a very unique tone and useable for everything.the B string is surprisingly excellent.I own four precisions and this one was well thought out.10/10.
I am & always will be a P Bass Man myself and this Bass sounds Killer! I dig the Olive color too
This guy have great tone !
After playing a P bass for the first time I understand the hype now. I really want one!!!
I could listen to Sean talk bass specs all day while playing. Explains everything easy to understand
Bought this bass, in Olympic White, last week. I've put on a set of D'Addario NYXL 45100 roundwounds and it sounds a*m*a*z*i*n*g! I was somewhat skeptical about the V-Mod pickup but it has really nailed a fresh modern tone, which is exactly what I was looking for. Can't stop slapping it!
This dude is in the pocket with HIMSELF!
That tone ...... aw .... melting!
Now it's the American Professional II that's the new thing, it has new pickups, finishes and colors. The sound and tone is similar good sound quality. Fender basses are innovative, enough to come with new models.
It sounds like a mix between 71' precision and a 63' precision, very good tbh.
There's more fret buzz in this video than I'd expect Fender to allow in a demo of their flagship
listen to a lot of isolated bass tracks. Acoustically, more buzz than you'd think. But to me this doesn't have a lot of buzz, just grit which adds to the tone.
mah
Eh, I don't care. A lot of us probably play with the same amount of buzz anyway. I'd rather play bass than obsess over getting the least amount of fret buzz possible.
I think they intended to let the bass buzz to get a raspy sound. I noticed this in most of their demos.
@@SonicXRage fender employee?
Freaking amazing ! Sean and that bass sounds amazing !
I can't wait to get my hands on one of these babies... couple more weeks of saving up...
buzz!!!
I'd kill to have that tone
Sean is very articulate. I love hearing him speak
Proof that there’s a seriously massive gap in the youtube market for demos of basses by people who can seriously play them!
Even not playing the bass, I would like to have one considering the Demo from this particular person. Wonderful! :)
In my 37 years of playing, and 32 years as a studio/gigging bassist, I've never been much of a P-Bass kinda guy. I've always been a dyed-in-the-wool Jazz Bass kind of guy. And, if I do play a P-Bass, I really like the Precision pickup REVERSED, with the E & A string pickup CLOSER to the bridge, and the D & G string pickup CLOSER to the fingerboard. I just think it produces a much better tone, to MY EAR, for MY PLAYING STYLE, at least. Surly, the Fender Custom Shop would build a bass with a reversed P pickup.
Yep. Ala spector.
David Jones exactly. I've owned a few Spector basses in my day. I also have an old Ibanez Soundgear from the 80's with that reversed-P/J configuration. Man, I haven't played that bass in 15 years, come to think of it. I'm gonna have to break it out on the next rock gig. Lol.
Constructive Critique Lol
I've owned reverse P's and they aren't a real difference IME.
Hammersmith Music makes Ps with a reversed pickup. Made in Canada and apparently excellent quality.
Waiting on that American Jaguar Bass! or Jazzmaster Bass?!
may i ask how you feel about the american jaguar bass now?
Here comes all the know it all folks instead of appreciating the dudes presentation! Clean clean sounds boss and I'm sure you could make a Fender 25 amp sound great!
love it. there does appear to be some chorusing on the low open E. maybe the string needs to be at more of an angle on the peg?
This pickup sounds great but how much of the audio in this polished video is post-produced?
All of it.
It strikes me that a big problem with reviews like this is that there is never any criticism. This seems true for most guitar and amp reviews.
Teachering lol, then don’t watch a review done by the MANUFACTURER of the bass. Haha. Why would they say negative shit about their own product ?? No one is claiming this to be a non biased review... There’s probably a million reviews of this bass from random people out there, if you want a non biased review.
It’s a an ad, dude lol
So in love with this bass, I surely get one
Just got one of these and I think I love it.
I love the view of los angeles on the guys back
I love his grooving
Sean plays well. Bravo
Você quase consegue escutar o beat da batera junto de tanto groove...
꼭 한번써보고싶네용😀
Goddamn Sean Hurley you badass
4:33 is his own lick from an old song of his first band, right?
go sean go! 👊
nice sound love it 😁
P bass or quit playing lol for me (music is all opinion based) the active jazz or the pj basses (I've played PJ's for 6 years) are just super high driven and I'm way more into the low mids and getting a great low clean. The jazz pickups are amazing if that's what you are looking for, but I love the classic sound that I can modulate
with pedals if need be rather that a bright sound that I'm fighting with to get warm and low.
OMG.....!!! THE SOUND!!!!! 😨
LOL I have only adjusted my 2007 Mexican P bass once and that was when I bought it. It sometimes stays in tune for a week or more with outside vs. inside humidity and temp changes here in Florida.
Can't find this series on the fender's website, I would like to check other colors and specs
shop.fender.com/en-US/electric-series/american-professional/
Vintage and fat. I love the V-Mod pickups
Surprised he didn't touch on the string through body design. I have an APII Jazz and it just seems to have so much more sustain than any other JB's I have played. Haven't tried the APII PB but can't imagine the string through body wouldn't have similar impact on the Precision.
When i saw this bass I thought about Curt Cobain sweater 😊😊😊
sean is sick !
Nice shoot location!
What is the first year of production for this Bass ? 2016 or 2017 ?
love it
$1200 for a nice used one, is that a good price in 2022?
Want one badly!! But want to put Rotosound RS66LD Swing Bass 66 Stainless Steel Roundwound Bass Guitar Strings .045 .65 .80 .105 Standard Long Scale.
Dumb question but why do I hear so much fret buzz in this demo?
Most likely because you have ears
I may be a J's guy but this is a chunky sounded thang
Great playing! Just wondering why the bass is poorly set up? Too much fret noise.
how much stuff can they keep improving tho. I cannot think of anything that needs an upgrade in this year's p bass
who else comes back to this video just to hear the intro???
what are these songs called? I'd like to learn them!
Look nice apart from those white pick guards. I wish they would come up with something a bit more interesting.
gazfunk That's so true. The first thing I did to my P-Bass was to get rid of the white pickguard and get a mirror one. Just a simple black pickguard would make the basses look a lot better.
Add one humbucker on the bridge position that will be perfect.
Does any one know which bass line he's playing?
Fret Buzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flat rounds a must
I thought the bridge saddles were supposed to be single-groove. These are the originals.
David Jones - the action was probably set up too low.
roll that tone knob up jesus
Regards technical improvement it's ok but any opinion about the sound? I feel it sounds like a plastic box
Great tone?? Be careful. He's playing through a $1,500 Fender tube amp head--which kinda helps a little. lol
yeah I always have to remember that when watching these demos. The guys are playing through the best amps at big volumes with god knows what else added to the sound and everyone is disappointed when they play back at home in their small quiet amps!
@@renhoek3851 Andddd we don't have Sean's fingers haha.
I won't lie this is a very well crafted beautiful instrument. However I've heard it played by many excellent players and I don't care for the tone . Which is funny because a Precision is all I play . Maybe it just needs a pickup swap .
This or Sandberg VS4 ?
That`s all it needs :-)
flatwound?
Holy damn $1,500 for that thing??
That’s my kind of bass that plays itself when you’ve got other things to do..
There's a much Fuller sound compared to the player series
Put a hi mass bridge on a player series and it will come closer to this. Fender might also privilege the sound of this video. The only way for us to hear the difference is in a store. I dont think the price difference is worth it. Especially considered the venues we play. Bars vs Stadium ☺ the am pro is better but is it worth the price difference ?
Fender Aerodyne jazz bass blows this professional out of the water for half price you decide.
huh alnico ii, interesting.
thats one groovy white boy
The color is so ugly that I love it
He’s a great player, killer groove, but that bass really sounds kinda weak. Too “stringy”. Maybe new strings are killing the p bass tone. Need some grimy old worn in strings?
I don't even play bass I play guitar what
now remember kids you bend the note on a guitar, it wears away ever so slightly you bend a note on a bass it chews thorugh it ever so slightly... there's a difference between chewing and wearing
Toxic Potato nothing
my god is cringeworthy
It's hard to believe that Fender "reinvented" their P-Bass, hired a well known studio player, and then spent the money to film this add but didn't get one of their tech gurus to deal with the buzzing neck... really?
Amazed that this is proffered as a video to evaluate of the sound of this bass. Why not record it properly? Sounds muddy, indistinct with horrible room reverb. Please just D.I flat and play simple Bass guitar not Alto bass fret-wking. I just want to know what the damn thing sounds like.
You should play with harder attack on the strings with your right hand than you will get the sound out of that beautiful instrument...

You clearly have no idea what or who you’re talking about….thanks for the laugh though 😂
i
That's so buzz and rattle is horrible! Isn't that thing like $2000?!
The best of P-Bass is american Standart.. All others are wasted money. They sound cheap.
I dont like this sound
I'll stick to a 1979 aria pro ii Sb1000 way better than any p or j bass
James Newland why did you watch the video if you already don't want a fender
Amazing player on a GARBAGE sounding amp. (that's not fret buzz, it's the amps speaker that's trashed) You'd think Fender could afford a new speaker for that amp.
There's definite fret buzz there. I can hear the ping in the metal, not the speaker.
sorry.. but i hate how this bass sounds ;:(
I think in this video it has a lot more to do with the amp used. Fender bass amps aren't really the greatest.
I sounds distorted, and not in a good way. I can honestly say that the new American Standard I bought a couple weeks ago sounds infinitely better than this one. Could just be his style of playing.
Cool story, he's a great player, this bass sounds great. Buy some better headphones
No slap demo?
