It’s an amazing testament to Leo Fender’s ideas and design that 70 years since its introduction, the Fender P Bass is still one of the best-selling and most used instruments in music today, despite all the world’s advancements,. If you’ve never played or owned a Precision Bass – you simply have to!
In this lesson we’re going to explain why no one will ever topple the Precision from its perch as the best-selling bass of all time. You’ll also get note-for-note breakdowns of bass lines on which the P Bass really shines.

I prefer the J bass
Why no love for the mustang
You can't mention Steve Harris and not mention Phil Lynott! A front man playing a P Bass. A legend.
making a full 20 min video about the pbass and not mentioning John Deacon made me sad 🙁
I realize that this video is from a year ago, but since I just ran across it I wanted to touch on something that I noticed. You guys speak with such enthusiasm about the bass as an instrument, it's tone, and the talented players that inspire us to embark on a journey into music. I wanted to thank you both, Ian and Scott, for tirelessly bringing us these videos with that love for the instrument, position, and craft!!!! Well done, gentlemen!!!! My first bass that I bought was a Torino Red Squire P-bass back in 1989, and I still have it. Whenever I play it, it just feels like coming home! So, thank you for showing some love for a beloved instrument for most of us!
The single most "versatile" bass you can walk into a session or gig with? Not something with a million switches and knobs that can "cop any tone"(never happens). It's a passive P with the right pickups and broken-in nickel roundwounds. ANY genre, you're good.
You guys are great Thanks
I'd love to go for beers with the SBL lads.
Jamerson had the foam over the strings, under the ashtray, not under the strings. That way the E is more muted than the G, as it should be.
Bottom line is every bass has its place. I have many basses, including the ones you have featured and they are all brilliant, due to their individual tone characteristics.
Just came across this video. It's really amazing what can be done with Fender P bass guitar!!! Great video, thumbs up!!
You guys have a such a good vibe.
Bloody cool!!!
Jamareo Artis @ the 2012 Grammy's with Bruno Mars made me pick up the bass again
P bass was the first bass I ever owned. They suck. A bunch of flub and mud most of the time. Not versatile. I'll take a J bass EVERY DAY of the week.
Oh man!!! I started playing bass a decade ago and got a Squier Jaguar PJ because I loved it, but didn’t know if I was ready to commit to learning bass.
LAST NIGHT at church (still playing my Squier)…my bass died during rehearsal and a friend loaned me a proper Fender P-bass to finish the night. OH…MY…GOODNESS!!!
I INSTANTLY fell in love with the P-bass!!! Spent 2 hours this morning playing one again at my local music store and now…just dreaming and trying to figure out how I can upgrade to a Fender Player II P-Bass. Oh man!!! What an instrument!!! What a punch it has!!! Can’t wait…hoping to one day afford it.
THANK YOU Scott and Ian for all your amazing content!!! You are so, SO APPRECIATED!!! THANK YOU for sharing your passion with noobs like me!!! Have a GREAT day guys!!!
Learned on a Fender P Bass Copy the past 4 years. 1 year ago I switched to flatwounds and it works perfectly for Rock, Heavy Metal & everything. I'll bet many of you relate.
The new La Bella Super Polished Bass strings are seriously the best of both worlds. I can slap and mute and sound incredible on all my basses! Thank you La Bella!!! ????
Effing love you guy's❤????
The 65 all the way but the Pino with the pick
I’m not sure if there are 2 more complete players out there.
You guys rock!
For those who live in the box of one-trick-pony basses, this statement is definitely true. But it's like explaining the ocean to a frog that lives in a pond.
Yes, I have a P-Bass, my endless love!
64 years old. Been playing bass almost 50 of those years. I've been Jazz bass and Warwick Thumb for all but 5 of those years. But my fave bass these days is a stock, Player series P-bass. Why? Nothing has that "thump" that the P has. The P just has it. That "thump" that lives in exactly the spot in front of the pickup that you mention. I play the Thumb when I want the extended range, or easier access to the range above the 12th fret. But my P is my daily driver now.
I had a 74 P-bass stolen from me back in 1980, but that's all I will say about that.
After all my time with my beloved Jazz Bass, i really have my eyes set on a P Bass next. You gotta have both.
Controversial opinion (perhaps) incoming: I think P-Bass' are mega overrated. You can achieve the same sound/better with basses that have thin, comfortable necks that don't snap your fret hand with cramp; without your shoulder feeling like it's broken from the weight of the body; can actually play with real precision on a neck that isn't as wide as a sidewalk.
Just my opinion. Don't come and get me!
Sounds so nice. Im a guitar player looking for a Bass for recording and i might just get a p-bass instead of a jazz bass now.
I'm new to bass maybe this was covered but can someone explain why not get a pj and have that versatility if needed?
I just realised the instrument I bought is a P – bass ????
Scott laughs at Steve Harris galloping, but fawns over U2….????
My high school had a p-bass that I got to play (but not in band), and I just figured that was what electric basses were supposed to be like. I feel vindicated. 🙂
No mention of Andy rourke? He had a great sound
Very cool ????????????
If you are considering buying maybe your first Bass, don't watch THESE GUYS. You will buy one for sure even if you really didn't need to. Enthusiasm is Everything. These guys prove it.????????????????
