The Fender Select Precision Bass presents an elegantly crafted, sonically seismic new take on the bass guitar that started it all, with a gorgeous Two-color Sunburst gloss-lacquer finish and flame maple top. Its modern “C” shaped quartersawn maple neck has Posiflex™ graphite support rods, a satin lacquer backfinish and rear-headstock “Fender Select” medallion.

For more than three decades, Steve Harris’s galloping fleet-fingered basslines have turbocharged U.K. metal titans Iron Maiden and have made him the most influential metal bassist alive. Harris has stayed true to his battle-hardened Fender® Precision Bass® guitar over the years, and Fender now honors him with the Steve Harris Precision Bass. Features include a regally cool Royal Blue Metallic sparkle finish, with chromed mirror pickguard, alder body, vintage-tint one-piece maple neck and fingerboard with 20 medium-jumbo frets, Badass® II bridge, Seymour Duncan® Basslines SPB-1 split-coil Precision Bass pickup, chrome hardware, Steve Harris Signature Rotosound® custom flat-wound strings and Harris’s signature on the back of the headstock. Deluxe gig bag included.
The names of few rock bassists have become more synonymous with fretless bass than that of session great Tony Franklin. Like the man who designed it, the Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass® guitar takes a classic instrument to a new level, with an alder body and modern C-shaped maple neck with an unfinished and unfretted ebony fingerboard with side dot position markers. Other features include vintage tuners, Hipshot® Bass Xtender drop-D tuner on the E string, and three-way pickguard switch that controls an American Series Precision Bass neck pickup and a Tony Franklin signature Jazz Bass® bridge pickup with hex-screw lugs and ceramic bar magnets.

Although most know Tony Franklin for his amazing fretless work, he’s been doing sessions with the same fretted Precision Bass® for years. Franklin’s top-notch fretted signature bass sings just like his fretless model, with Precision and Jazz Bass® pickups and a three-way selector switch that provide an array of great tones. Features include specially voiced pickups, lacquer finish, and modern C-shaped maple neck and fingerboard made to Franklin’s specs. Available in Olympic White and Gold Amber.
