V-MOD III PICKUP

V-Mod III Precision Bass pickups are modified versions of our classic vintage pickup designs. Packed with the fundamental Fender bass sound you know and love, these split-coil pickups deliver the vintage warmth, punch and clarity that made Fender a legend.

MODIFIED '63 P BASS® NECK PROFILE

The American Professional III Precision Bass uses a modified '63 P Bass® neck profile — refined to be thicker at the 1st fret and thinner at the 12th fret for a more ergonomic playing experience. The Super-Natural satin finish on the back of the neck provides a smooth fret-hand feel complemented by rounded fingerboard edges.

POSIFLEX™ GRAPHITE RODS

All American Professional bass necks incorporate Posiflex™ graphite rods to reinforce against movement that can occur with fluctuations in the climate. Embedded beneath the fingerboard, they improve reliability on the road, in the studio or in your home.

HIMASS™ PRO V BRIDGE

This precision-manufactured bass bridge increases sustain and note definition thanks to its high-mass construction delivering improved attack and resonance at every fret position.

CLASSICGEAR™ PRECISION™ POTENTIOMETERS

ClassicGear™ Precision™ Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper for effortless, reliable performance.

SCULPTED NECK HEEL

The rounded neck heel and beveled neck-plate improve access to the upper register and make leads easy and comfortable.
