About the original
The Fender American Professional II Precision Bass is a US-made four-string electric bass with an alder body, maple neck carved to a 1963 C profile, 9.5-inch radius rosewood fingerboard with 20 narrow-tall frets, a V-Mod II split-coil pickup using alnico 2 magnets on the bass coil and alnico 5 on the treble coil, a HiMass Vintage bridge, and a genuine bone nut. Leo Fender introduced the original Precision Bass in 1951 out of Fullerton, California; it was the first mass-produced electric bass guitar and established the standard for the instrument. Fender released the American Professional II series in 2020. The Supreme SS2026 collab is finished in red with artwork by Art Dealer.
About Fender
Fender Musical Instruments Corporation was founded in 1946 in Fullerton, California, by Clarence Leonidas Leo Fender, a radio repairman with no formal musical training. Fender mass-produced the first commercially successful solid-body electric guitar, the Telecaster, released in 1950 as the Esquire and Broadcaster before its final naming in 1951. The Stratocaster followed in 1954, and the Precision Bass, introduced in 1951, defined the electric bass guitar as an instrument. The company has built guitars continuously for eight decades across its American, Mexican, and Japanese factories. Supreme's collaboration produced a limited-run Stratocaster with box logo branding on the headstock.
