From Motown To Iron Maiden! Fender set the standard (invented it, actually!) more than five decades ago with an elegantly enduring design for an innovative instrument that transformed popular music. Such simple elegance continues today. Our Standard Precision Bass guitar features a comfort-contoured body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, single split-coil hum-canceling pickup and knurled chrome American Precision Bass knobs. The Precision Bass enjoys the status of being the first mass-produced and commercially successful electric bass. In its stock configuration, it is a solid body instrument equipped with one split-coil electric pickup. The Precision Bass is the most popular electric bass of all time, and as such is still being manufactured today. Similar to Jimi Hendrix`s effect on the popularity of the Stratocaster, the early adoption of the electric bass was in part due to Bill Black`s ownership. Double bassist on the first Elvis Presley recordings, Black was beginning to use a Precision Bass during the filming of Jailhouse Rock. Fender also delivered an early Precision to noted LA session bassist and arranger Shifty Henry. The electric bass had a major effect on popular music. The double bass (also called bass violin, contrabass, or upright bass) is difficult to play in tune, is physically cumbersome and difficult to transport. It was increasingly hard to hear in increasingly large bands or with amplified electric guitars. With electric pickups, a small body and fretted neck, the Precision Bass successfully addressed these problems. The electric bass produces a different timbre than the double bass: a more focused sound, harder edged, with less percussive thump and a more clearly articulated fundamental tone. By bringing the sound of the bass up in a band, the bass became more dominant in its role and transformed the beat and rhythm of pop music. James Jamerson, the legendary Motown bassist, is an excellent example; the Motown sound would not have been possible without the electric bass. Overall, the electric bass has allowed driving rhythms while still outlining harmonic structures and is essential to the evolution from jump blues and swing to rhythm and blues and rock music. In 1954, the body design was changed from one similar to the Telecaster to more resemble that of the Stratocaster guitar, with the edges contoured for comfort. In 1957, the pickup design was changed, with a `split pickup` or `staggered` design being used. This design actually connected the pickups in a humbucking mode; however, Fender never emphasized this, as the Seth Lover patent on the humbucker had not yet expired. In the same year, the headstock and pickguard were redesigned. The Precision Bass has long been a favorite of rock bassists because of its fat, punchy, driving sound, especially when combined with roundwound strings and an aggressive pick-style playing technique (where the player uses a pick to pluck the strings rather than his finger
