Fender Player Plus Active Precision Bass in Silver Smoke w/Gigbag weighs 9 lbs 1 oz. Silver Smoke is a tough color to find right now so act fast!
In my mind, the key feature making the Player Precision Bass worthwhile is its Active/Passive capabilities. In previous decades you needed at least 3 instruments to cover what this one can. A P-Bass typically has 1 middle pickup, so does this bass. There's #1. A Jazz bridge pickup covers very different sonic ground, there's #2. Then we have the mini switch that goes from Active to Passive. There's #3. In other words, go from monstrous slap n' pop, to a smoothed-out Jazz Bass tone, to a punchy P, to modern metal tones with thunderous low end and serious aggression.
