Stylish Construction

The Squier Precision Bass, Gold Edition has a solid Nyatoh body, that delivers a pronounced lower-midrange, excellent sustain and warm tones comparable to Mahogany. The Nyatoh body is paired with a Maple neck that boasts a comfortable “C” shape profile. Its neck shape works with a range of techniques and styles, providing a slick and seamless performance when gliding your hand across the 20 frets. The Maple neck also features a smooth Indian Laurel fretboard and a vintage-style Precision Bass headstock.

Classic Strat Electronics

The Squier Precision Bass Gold Edition is equipped with a Fender Designed Alnico 5 Split Single Coil. These pickups provide a hum-free performance, with striking lows and clear highs that fit perfectly in the Rock and Punk genre. Its volume and tone controls let you tailor its sound to your liking. You can deliver plenty of bite with the volume cranked or a subtle accompaniment during a more restrained performance. However you play, the Precision Bass is made to fit seamlessly into a mix.

Whether it’s ripping chunky bass lines with a plectrum or playing classic finger-picking, the Squier Precision Bass has a distinctive tone that’s truly iconic. Artists like Mike Dirnt, Sting and Roger Waters perfectly represent the versatility of the Precision Bass through their individual and recognisable styles.

Quality Hardware
