The Fender Player Series Saturday Night Special Precision Bass gives you classic P-Bass tone with modern refinements. Fender designed this limited-edition bass to capture the essence of late-'50s Precision Basses, delivering the perfect balance of punch and clarity. Whether recording an album or performing live, this bass provides an authentic vintage P-Bass experience with updates for today's players.

Vintage-Inspired Pickups for Classic Tone

The Saturday Night Special Vintage P-Bass pickups are wound to vintage specifications, producing the bold yet smooth tone of late-'50s P-Basses. The Saturday Night Special edition uses Alnico 4 magnets for extra warmth and richness in the highs. These pickups give you the iconic thump and clear note articulation that defined the P-Bass sound. Dial in tones from Motown soul to punk rock and everything in between.

Modern Playability Meets Retro Style

While the Saturday Night Special pickup and alder body provide vintage tone, the satin urethane neck finish and 9.5" fingerboard radius give this bass a smooth, fast feel for today's player. The C-shaped neck profile is comfortable for all playing styles. The 20 medium-jumbo frets make it easy to articulate notes and chords. Stylish touches like the aged white pickguard and knobs complete the retro look.

Versatile Tone Control

Shape your tone with the volume and tone controls. Turn up the volume knob to unleash the full power of the SPB-1 pickups or roll it back for a softer tone. The tone knob cuts high frequencies as you turn it clockwise, enabling a range of sounds from bright and crisp to warm and rounded. With simple adjustments, you can find the perfect tone for any song or genre.

Built to Last

Like Fender's original P-Bass models, this bass is built for lifelong playing. The alder body and maple neck have stood the test of time, providing balanced and resonant tone. The HiMass bridge increases sustain and tuning stability. Chrome hardware and nickel frets are hard-wearing and corrosion-resistant. A durable satin finish protects the wood while allowing it to breathe. Whether practicing, recording or touring, this P-Bass is ready to rock for years to come.
