Fender 0140470500 Player II Precision Bass, 3-Color Sunburst

The Fender Player II Precision Bass 0140470500 is a right-handed, four-string electric bass finished in 3-Color Sunburst. It provides the direct, fundamental-forward voice associated with a split-coil Precision Bass design. It is suited to players who want a straightforward passive bass for rehearsal, recording, performance, or a first serious instrument.

An alder solid body and Player Series Alnico 5 split single-coil pickup form the core of its sound. The pickup is designed to deliver clear upper frequencies, present midrange, and substantial low end through a bass amplifier or recording interface. Master volume and master tone controls keep adjustments simple while allowing the player to shape output level and treble response.

The maple neck uses a Modern "C" profile with a satin urethane finish on its back and a gloss urethane headstock face. Its slab rosewood fingerboard has rolled edges, a 9.5-inch radius, and 20 medium-jumbo frets. This combination gives players a familiar full-scale bass layout with room for standard fretting techniques and expressive playing.

Its 34-inch scale length, synthetic bone nut, and standard open-gear tuners support conventional long-scale bass string setups. The 4-saddle bridge uses single-groove steel barrel saddles, allowing individual saddle-height and intonation adjustment. A single-action head-adjust truss rod provides neck-relief adjustment when performed with the appropriate setup knowledge.

The Player II Precision Bass works as a dependable foundation for a bass rig built around an amplifier, DI box, pedalboard, or audio interface. Its passive electronics connect to typical instrument-level 1/4-inch bass cables and do not require a battery. Players can use it as supplied or pair it with a compatible hardshell case or gig bag for transport.
