Fender’s new and innovative Blacktop™ series expanded the sonic horizon of classic Fender guitars by powering them with high-gain humbucking pickups. That phenomenal Blacktop power and performance now comes to the bass world with a dual-humbucking-pickup version of the Precision Bass® guitar.

Sleek and supercharged, the Blacktop Precision Bass guitar features two pummeling Blacktop Bass humbucking pickups that make it one of the most powerful basses - if not the most powerful bass - Fender has ever offered. Other distinctive touches are three Jazz Bass control knobs (volume for each pickup and master tone) and a Blacktop™ HiMass bridge. Features include an alder body, maple neck with modern C shape and gloss urethane finish, rosewood fretboard with 9.5” radius and 20 medium jumbo frets, three-ply black-white-black pickguard, open-gear tuners and chrome hardware. Available in Black and new White Chrome Pearl.

EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT! They named them backwards...or did they? They both are great! If I get a bass again it's one of those....which is a toss up.

Wow... that silver P-bass actually makes me want to buy a bass. Looks like Hell might be expecting some light flurries tonight.

ehhhh...the "Jazz" isn't really doing it for me but the P might be interesting. If you can call it that.

Jazz with 2 P pickups could be super cool, I'd really like to try one of those.
