	Fender Precision Bass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fender Precision Bass, known as "P-bass" for short, is an early model of the electric bass designed by Clarence Leonidas Fender on the electronics and his team crafting the body and neck, and brought to market in 1951.
		Although the Precision Bass was first presented some 15 years after the original solid body, fretted, horizontal, electric bass produced by the Audiovox Manufacturing Company in Seattle, Washington, the Precision Bass enjoys the status of being the first mass-produced and commercially successful electric bass.
		The double bass (also called Bass viol, Contrabass, or upright bass) is a very difficult instrument to master, is physically cumbersome, difficult to transport, and by the late 1930s was increasingly hard to hear with big horn sections or next to resonator or amplified electric guitars.

	Bass guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Precision Bass (or "P-bass") evolved from a simple, uncontoured 'slab' body design similar to that of a Telecaster with a single piece, four-pole pickup to a contoured body design with beveled edges for comfort and a single "split coil pickup" (staggered humbucker).
		Gibson basses also tended to be smaller, sleeker instruments; Gibson did not produce a 34" scale bass until 1963 with the release of the Thunderbird, which was also the first Gibson bass to utilize dual-humbucking pickups in a more traditional position, about halfway between the neck and bridge.
		Fretless basses have a distinct sound: the absence of frets means that the string must be pressed down directly onto the wood of the fingerboard and can buzz against it as with the double bass, sometimes described as a "mwaah" sound by bassists.

	Acoustic bass guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The acoustic bass guitar (also called ABG or acoustic bass) is an acoustic string instrument based on the configuration of the electric bass pioneered by Leo Fender's electric Fender Precision Bass.
		Unlike the electric bass guitar, which is generally a solid body instrument, the acoustic bass guitar usually has a hollow wooden body similar to (though usually somewhat larger than) that of the steel-string acoustic guitar.
		Thin-body semi-acoustic basses such as the violin-shaped Höfner made famous by the early Beatles and several Fender models are not normally regarded as acoustic basses at all, but rather as hollow-bodied bass guitars.

	Fender Bass, Fender Precision Bass, Fender Jazz Bass, P-Bass
		While it wasn't the first electric bass on the market (Audiovox holds that claim), the Precision Bass was the first electric bass to be mass produced, a method Fender first pioneered with their Telecaster guitar.
		By allowing the bass guitar to be amplified and therefore better heard, it suddenly played a more dominant role in the band and added a lot of depth to the rhythms of popular music.
		It was so named, partly because the sound of the bass was slightly different (perhaps one could argue more "jazz-like") but more so because it was thought the shape and contours of the instrument might appeal more to jazz players making the switch from an upright bass.

	Bass Player - Fender Jaguar Bass & Pino Palladino Precision Bass
		With the switching system, you can set the bass to offer both active and passive sounds; for example, you could keep your passive tone for the main groove and switch to the active circuit, with a preset bass and treble boost, for a slap passage.
		Since the Pino Palladino Precision is an Artist model Relic and not a Tribute model’s attempt at an exact copy (like the Jaco Pastorius Tribute Jazz Bass), it doesn’t try to mimic the dings and belt buckle scratches of Pino’s bass.
		The bass sounded warm and punchy when I cranked the tone knob and played with a light touch, and responded with a woody bark when I dug in hard.
