New-design tuners and bridge modernize this classic!
This American Standard Series P Bass
has a vintage body radius and contour for a classic vibe and feel. The body is rendered in premium ash or alder for optimum
tone and sustain. Its rosewood or maple fretboard features detailed fret and nut work. The neck is graphite-reinforced and
has rolled edges for a broken-in feel from the get-go.HMV Bridge (high mass vintage) increases sustain, provides punchier
tone, beefier looking plates and 3/8" diameter vintage saddles. String height adjustment screws have nylon patches for a tight
fit that won't vibrate loose.
A 12-gauge cold rolled steel plate machined brass backstop increases mass, enhances top
end. Socket head intonation screws are engineered for a tighter fit, and are now more stable. Features Fender®/Hipshot®
tuning keys. The work great, and are 30% lighter, minimizing neck dip. Classic 20:1 tuning ratio, cast zinc with aluminum
string posts and mounting nuts, and steel clovers. Brass worm gears, steel worm drives.
With a thinner undercoat, the
American Standard P Bass body breathes easier and has improved sound (more wood influence). Neck pocket paint buildup has
been reduced by 40%, greatly improving the wood to wood connection/reaction.

to Fender, has TSA recognized and accepted locks. Fiberglass reinforced nylon trigger release latching system, indestructible
