Fender Gives the Precision Bass a Dual-Humbucker Makeover With Player Fusion HH

Limited Edition Player Fusion Precision Bass HH Family

Fender has unveiled the Limited Edition Player Fusion series, which the company says combines iconic silhouettes with high-output humbuckers. The lineup includes a single bass model: the Player Fusion Precision Bass HH. While the body shape is familiar, the pickup configuration is far from a standard P.

“The P Bass silhouette brings familiar balance and mass to a hard rock context, loaded with two high-output humbuckers that push deep, tight low end with enough midrange presence to cut through a wall of guitars,” Fender writes. “A thin Jazz Bass neck profile and 12″ radius ebony fingerboard make the Fusion P Bass as fast and accessible as anything in the series.”

The Fender Limited Edition Player Fusion Precision Bass HH comes in Black or Halo Metallic finishes over an alder body. Each finish is accented with a black headstock and black hardware, though the Black bass has a 4-ply white pearloid pickguard where the Halo Metallic has a 3-ply black pickguard.

Other features include white pearloid dot inlays, 20 frets, and a HiMass vintage-style bridge.
