Up for sale, a 1983 Fender Precision Bass Elite II in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This uncommon Elite II dates to the beginning of a very limited production run that ran from mid-1983 to early '85; an upscale USA-made P Bass with active electronics, this bass boasts two split coil pickups that have an incredible amount of tonal range and a slender, fast-feeling neck profile.
Weighing 9lbs, tonewoods include an alder body and a one-piece maple neck, yielding plenty of fundamental punch and sustain for a balanced, smooth tone. Whether you seek more treble-focused growl or thick thump, the Elite II's intuitive control layout allows you to easily dial in the sound you need, with far more tonal variance typically offered by the standard Precision design. This Precision Bass Elite II benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 45-105 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.
