Gear Of The Year 2017: Best Bass Product
When it comes to taking things down low, sometimes all we need is the classics, but that hasn’t stopped some brands getting inventive with their bass gear in 2017…
Winner
Fender American Professional Precision Bass
• Price £1,509
• Reviewed May 2017

How do you improve on an absolute classic? That’s the challenge that Fender took on when the Californian giant came to revamp its core USA-made line with the American Professional Series.
The result, from a bass point of view, was the American Professional Precision Bass – an instrument that took the timeless looks and feel of Leo’s classic and made some sensible tweaks under the hood to make it even better, notably the tonally open and versatile new V-Mod split-coil pickup.
We said “A solid Precision Bass that’s ultra-comfortable to play and does all of the rock ’n’ roll jobs you expect it to with aplomb”.
