Fender Precision BassThe Fender Precision Bass, know as "P-bass" for short, is a model of Bass Guitar created by Leo Fender in 1951. With a body designed after that of the the Fender Telecaster electric guitar, the Precision Bass was the first mass-produced electric bass guitar. In its stock configuration, it is equipped with one single-coil electronic pickup. The Precision Bass is the most popular bass guitar of all time, and is still being manufactured today. Design Updates In 1954, the body design was changed to more resemble that of Fender's then-new Stratocaster guitar, with the edges contoured for comfort. In 1957, the pickup design was changed, with a 'split pickup' or 'staggered' design being used. In the same year, the headstock and pickguard were redesigned. The original design, with several updates, was reintroduced in the early 1970s as the 'Telecaster Bass.' Many variants and special-edition Precision Basses have been offered in recent years.
