Precision Bass is based on the '80s Jazz Bass Special he used while recording Appetite for Destruction. An evolution of his signature model, this bass adds player-friendly features and stylistic touches that Duff demands.
The black-painted "Modern C"-shaped quartersawn maple neck has a "Deluxe Jazz Bass Special" headstock logo and hosts a rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block inlays, along with the number "12" at the twelfth fret. A must-have for live performance, the Hipshot® Bass Xtender allows instant drop-tuning with the flick of a lever. Duff's signature sound comes from pairing a Fender vintage-style Precision Bass split-coil pickup with a Seymour Duncan® STKJ2B Jazz Bass single-coil bridge pickup. This thunderous tone can be shaped precisely by the Fender TBX™ (Treble/Bass Expander) tone circuit.
Additional features include a Pure Vintage '70s bridge and, as a special touch, a Duff skull n' crossbones neck plate. Includes deluxe gig bag.
