The

purpose

of

this

Precision

Bass

Instruction

Manual

is

to

ac-

quaint

you

with

the

various

features

of

the

instrument,

and

its

ad-

justments,

and

to

give

playing

tips

that

may

be

useful

to

the

player.

Since

its

introduction,

the

Fender

Precision

Bass

has

become

a

part

of

the

instrumentation

of

many

of

the

world's

leading

musical

organizations.

Both

bassmen

and

guitarists

have

found

their

technique

improves

very

rapidly

with

this

instrument

and

that

they

can

play

considerably

more

difficult

work

than

ever

before.

This

instrument

contains

features

that

make

playing

even

easier

and

tone

more

precise.

With

the

Fender

Bass,

only

l

ight

finger

action

is

necessary

for

fret-

ting

and

picking.

Greater

volume

is

attainable

with

little

effort

by

use

of

the

volume

controls,

and

tonal

variations

may

be

achieved

with

the

wide

-range

tone

controls.

Also

appreciated

by

bassmen

is

the

fact

that

with

a

Fender

Bass

you

are

able

to

move

around

while

playing;

the

over-all

bulk

is

considerably

less

than

the

old-style

bass,

providing

convenience

and

portability.

Careful

study

of

this

manual

will

fully

explain

all

components,

their

functions

and

adjustments

to

assure

your

complete

satisfac-

tion

with

your

Fender

Bass.
