The new V-Mod III Precision Bass V split-coil pickup is more articulate than ever while delivering the punch and growl the P Bass® is known for, while ClassicGear™ Precision™ Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper for effortless, reliable performance.
