FENDER AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL II PRECISION BASS (5 string) Demo

[@rle440]

This video is what eventually convinced me to buy this bass 2 years ago and it has been my main gigging bass ever since. Excellent video demonstrating this awesome bass.

[@anotakudetective1546]

Do you think it'd be a better option for someone who plays worship, rock, jazz, and metal?

[@rle440]

@@anotakudetective1546 in my honest opinion, I think that you can make any bass sound good in any style based on what you are playing through and your settings. Based on the styles that you mentioned, it could handle them all. There may be better options out there for certain types of jazz or really technical metal but the P bass can still handle it. I play rock, blues, and country with different bands and it works great for those styles. If I remember correctly, the intro music on this video is that 5 string P bass.

[@1okanaganguy]

If you love the music you're playing,@@anotakudetective1546, it will sound sweet

[@leoncarson1643]

I love everything about this bass. It’s has that classic Fender funk soul sound that make you won’t to play no matter what your playing levels are .It’s definitely a keeper👍🏽

[@edennard1]

4 sho !

[@user-LewisB]

You sold me on this Bully. You the man. Bought one of these this afternoon. Keep on playing. Love your channel.

[@1okanaganguy]

Bull, you playing style is timeless and engaging. Thanks for the riff

[@bonelessmusicchannel]

Slap with 50% of tone sounds amazing!!!

[@MichaelZola]

Here we go! This entire series was well done IMO. Fender got it right for sure. Reminds me of their Player series with an extraordinary USA hardware and electronics. The real deal and so glad you got your hands on one to get a review out. Didn’t even know a a five string P Bass was a thing. This was the most mellow tone I’ve ever heard. Killer demo! I’m going to say the whole jam sounded legit. I’m a fan of Fenders, glad this one made a good impression.

[@rubenriverarojas7910]

6:43 i really like that demo, sweet sound

[@marcinstefaniak2729]

Bully You're our big basses mentor. Great teaching, our understanding. Great english accent to easy understanding in other countries. Great to catch some info about basses and try to play ours basses. Another thanks from Poland. Stay funky !

[@thepeopleschoice431]

That little walk down at 10:15 is the dopest thing ever. I love the smooth style.

[@b.rodclark7349]

12:17 'I have a Fender...wow!' That reminds me of my reaction to my Fender Stratocaster Special after I brought it home playing it for the first time after buying it brand new in 1996... and I'm still wowing over it especially with the upgrades i've done to it almost 25 years later; anyhoo the name Precision itself literally speaks volumes but the tone at 50% really got it goin on although it gets plenty brightness as well. The neck's a maple cap anytime there's no skunk stripe on the back which would otherwise make it a solid maple neck. I looked up the specs of this beautifully sounding bass and the body's alder and the color's Miami Blue.

[@hodaridaniels8786]

Nice beautiful finish, the American Professional II bass has great tone from the V Mod II pickups.

[@ClauGutierrezY]

That colour is gorgeous!

[@mrosilvR7]

So much growl! They addressed my main issue with the original Professional. I felt like it was a step back from the 2000's American Standard.

[@aaronmoore9055]

Tone at 50 is my thing cause I love the sound of the wood, but I can’t deny that 0 to 25 on the tone is all butter. Love your playing 🤙🏾

[@ruminantmelanoid5444]

9:37 You backed off just a little bit but it was still bright. You slid from that tasty meaty slapping right to the fingerstyle without hitting the knobs again. The tone really is in your hands. You sounded like you, and the bass let you be you. There isn't much more that you could ask of a bass. BTW I see you still reppin' the shield. GOMAB.

[@BullyThaKidd]

Good catch... i didnt want to kill the listener too much... and also... GOMAB...

[@dentninja]

8:46. = Buttery heaven

[@Сергей-ц7с1ы]

Thanks bro. Bass lounge music. Great

[@Phaidrus]

Your grooves are *F*I*R*E*! Enjoy the new bass!

[@Super_Saiyen_Potato]

Hey Bully! Excellent video! Quick question, hows the neck dive on it? im assuming the new tuning pegs help bunches with that, but how much better would you say it is? Thanks so much for your awesome insight and opinions on the bass it helped me a lot!

[@Max-Mustermann46]

Greetings from Japan! You play it cool and look like you're having a blast!

[@iandugdale6366]

Really lovely playing in the demo. Thank you

[@rotorhead58d]

Very nicely done review. I LOVE the Miami Blue and Maple.

[@dentninja]

They need to send you a jazz bass! I got the elite Pro last year I believe with the Ebony fretboard yeah it is my favorite instrument I’ve ever owned

[@boomerbassmeme]

Great demo, sounded good. Especially in the mix. 😎👍 7:24-8:24 or so is a sound I generally go for and loved. Will admit my slap game is still weak, but working on it.

[@ek2thehands]

The "P" sounds great!

[@stelapaya]

Nice demo - thanks for sharing

[@jpsrone]

That slow Grove sells that bass! Who needs a active! Great job!

[@IvanGorn]

7:23 that's so much groove! Damn! 😬

[@danadane2501]

This sounds amazing especially for a modern day Fender P Bass . Back in the mid 90s you could get an amazing sound Mexican and or Japanese Fender P Bass for about 300 to 370 . Nowadays it seems only their top shelf p basses have a good sound . This is definitely one of the good basses right here .

[@RumblinMan]

That bass is so cool.

[@RoadKing-ky2bs]

Hey Daniel: I heard a lot of people begging for a 5 string P bass and now they have it! Smart on Fender's part. God bless. Patrick

[@RumblinMan]

@@RoadKing-ky2bs yeah bro! I want one! Haha.

[@MrCavityMan]

Great demo, thanks Bully.

[@boatboattmmrp9950]

Honestly I feel the B string is woefully underused. It makes that kick drum REALLY stand out

[@keithirtenkauf5563]

Beautiful bass, tone and playing! I liked it all!

[@henryfreeman7748]

Very nice continue to enjoy your superior purchase.

[@Keepmelevel]

I see that happy smile on your face when you play!!! Bass is boss!😎

[@fragallo1188]

Man...thank you for this awesome review. Awesome sound, awesome playing... awesome everything

[@johnbrydges4803]

Nice tone! Nothing overstated. I find that a precision bass plays the bassist, rather than the player playing the bass. The precision works for you man. One with the instrument Bully!

[@THEOPINIONATEDSPORTSMAN]

Awesome demo! Appreciate ya!

[@VmShpman82]

Nice. You rock bro. I like hearing you talk & play. go with the flow.

[@Stratman1920]

Man, I want THAT bass, looks and sound great. Thanks for the review

[@danadane2501]

I've been watching your channel since I began bass. A little Leas than 2 years back (near religiously). First off appreciate all tips and tricks I've learned. When comes not only to playing but especially how to work on a bass and upgrade/improve it. The true reason I'm commenting is I've seen a lot excellent musicians do clinics for a variety of different bass companies. I think you'd be perfect for that gig.

[@kitsvn]

Really enjoying your videos!

[@WheresTheM3tal]

For so long I bagged on Apple and Fender. About a year ago I bought an iPhone, and now I’m GASing for a Fender P bass so hard it is insane. It’s like I don’t even know who I am anymore. Who cares though, right!? Bc that bass sounds phenomenal. I have a Yamaha BB series pj, and I love it, but it just doesn’t quite get that p bass tone I’m wanting.... almost, but not quite. Anyways, thanks for the video. Sounded great my guy! Keep on mastering that low end

[@jdssurf]

Damn the jazz groove was perfect, great playing man.

[@Channel-io1di]

That last jam was sick man

[@Chris-ob6es]

Great playing, great demo, and great review! I think that the Fender Ps are underwhelming as always (sound wise), I am constantly more impressed by Js and MMs no matter who makes them. That said, I am sure this bass is a dream to play and is of the highest quality.

[@JWEssinkMusic]

Love the Bruno Mars Treasure groove you got going on while slapping. Also, the 50% tone is just what you want in a P-bass. Awesome work man, keep it up!

[@peterkinikinimusic]

I thought he was playing Forget Me Nots

[@peterkinikinimusic]

Oh I hear it now 😁

[@VmShpman82]

Wow !! Nice looking tuning pegs.

Dope bass and even doper play; 7:28 is pretty fly guy!:)

[@TheAdjacents-ABQ]

I love this rig and the color is so cool.

[@beefing313]

Excellent Demo!!!

[@bassbutter4767]

This bass guitar is fire!! Thick, articulate, and musical. And the color is fly!! I heard bully laying down that butta , I have to cop one of these.... In this color playa!!!😎🎵

[@irishdog79]

If you haven't, try a schecter P5. Best 5 string p bass I've ever played.

[@bobbyzig3879]

Like to see this head to head with the Sire P5 5 string.

[@nick_bass_93]

What's the bassline you're playing in the first samples at 3:31? I find this line pops into my head from time to time but I can't place what it is/where it's from. Excellent demo btw

[@BullyThaKidd]

Come down by Anderson paak.

[@MrRickburns]

Thanks Mr. Thakidd . That last groove makes an excellent play along. 🎸 (and please tell Fender to make a lefty version.)

[@Derfunkmeister]

Sounds fantastic.

[@TheBartostock]

Sounds great!

[@mikecole2837]

You gotta put flats on a p bass otherwise it sounds too clacky.

[@TheBartostock]

Loved it!!!

[@s3hooligan]

I saw the Sigma shield and Raider paraphernalia on the intro and immediately hit subscribe. GOMAB! RNFL!

[@BullyThaKidd]

Lol 🤘🤘🤘

[@idolbass]

Great Fender P sound, I've never owned a 5 stringer but I want one for gigging. Trying to decide what to get. Spector, Fender J or P. Usually, I leave my tone open but your use of tone is a great example of when to dial it down, seems like a very bright bass or maybe new flats? Good grooves B.

[@Below-Average_Joe]

You are sounding great!

[@64jazz]

Great Review Bruh 👊🏾 Are the strings on there the same Fender nickels that usually come on all/most new Fender Basses? or did you change the strings? ... if so, to What set/guage? Thanks Dude.

[@BullyThaKidd]

Nah the d'adarrio's it came with are still on it

[@springboard1924]

@@BullyThaKidd what’s your string of choice for a pbass? (brand & gauge) Thanks!

Wow !! Nice Fender !!!

Nice Guy playing nice Grooves ... double-like :-) best regards from Germany, Ralf

[@Des_Armoni]

best tone is that zero dammmmmn! of course each percentage has its application but maaan that zero just hits u right in ur pulse!! awesome review Bully!

[@Pablotercero90]

That blue would look fire 🔥 with a black pickguard

[@Bbh4535]

I like your groove Bully, Fender Basses are really the top of the line, more so than there electric guitars. I own a squier 5 contemporary bass and a shite MIM jazz 4 string. I can’t find any reason to change anything with it any of them. I really enjoyed the plucking at 50% and slapping at 💯%. I suppose tone is dependent on taste and genre ?

[@caleblopez5056]

What does he play at 5:30

[@christiaanmeerbeek924]

Who can tell me (from experience), how is the B-string on this guitar?

[@adamgilbert8602]

Great demo man! I don't want to like this as much as I do but this thing sounds awesome. This is probably the best I've heard you sound. I originally came to your channel for Sire bass reviews. I love Sire but Fender sounds great too if you can afford it ha ha! Hope you are doing well man. Stay safe out there!

[@adamgilbert8602]

All the tones sounded awesome, no time stamp specific for me! Great all around!

[@adamgilbert8602]

Aye yo!!! I forgot to ask you, are you going to be getting any of the new Sire basses that came out? If you have the connection, I think it would be awesome if you reviewed the V5, P10, V10, as well as the M7 six string. I know you have big hands and might not have a use for it but the U5 short scale bass looks awesome and I'd love to see you do a review of that as well. I have large hands but I bought an Ibanez mikro and love using that to practice. Some of the small/light basses are fun and have a really cool tone. Just wanted to throw this out there! Keep up the good work man. Be easy!!!

[@HerrCobra_762]

I'd love to hear this tuned two steps down.

[@jongreen2082]

Color is unreal, I'd be ordering a black pickguard...lol. Love the channel Bully. ✌️

[@math2art]

love the zero tone setting. the 50% and 100% obviously give extra clarity/definition but at the expense of so much noise...maybe some people like that ... to each their own ... but I do love the zero setting! and great playing, of course :-)

[@g.medina3717]

I have the Fender Pro 5 PBass Sunburst Version, I really love mine! So much I even sold my Other 4 String Pbasses 😁, Awesome review brother, really digging the color, sweet.

[@TNraised615]

That sample is beautiful! Did you create that? Great video too.

[@braddietzmusic2429]

I so wish Fender would make a 5 string active P/J. They have all the parts and tooling. And they don’t do it. This bass sounds nice but for the money it has to have that Jazz pickup in the bridge and active electronics for maximum tonal flexibility.

[@desmondlawson6986]

I like da Bass. That Bass looks and sound sweet.

[@jasonm9264-f2o]

What's that 5 string PJ behind you? I'm looking for a Fender American PJ. Great vid!

Beginning at 3:55 is where the tone sounded the best .

[@DocJones2020]

I’m new. Really diggin The Funk.

[@inquiry9976]

That's the Bass right there.

[@Based.Mercado]

Also, do you know if. the 5 strings have any less “mojo” than the 4s? I was playing a 4 today and that thing is serious! They didn’t have any 5 strings to try so I’m hoping it’s the exact same funk, just with the added B string.

[@iceboxbass]

Man that bass sounded boss! To my ears it sounded great at every turn of the knob! Let me say this...you have magic in those fingers! Love your playing style and groove. You showed how diversified Fenders new P bass really is. Awesome job brother!👏🏼👍🏼😎 Just a couple questions...Which strings come on this bass, nickel rounds? What amp/speaker are you plugged into? Thanks!

[@Phaidrus]

As far as I know, all Fender basses come stock with Fender 7250M nickel plated rounds, 45105 for the 4string ones.

[@samlelowitch]

I love the Miami Blue finish. It’s too bad the Jazz Bass V version doesn’t come in that color.
