Unplugged, this bass resonated huge and fat with no rattles.

ItвЂ™s comfortable and balanced, the neck pocket super tight, and the satin-finished maple neck was slick and seemed superbly familiar. The 9.4-pound Elite P just looked and felt right from the get-go. Yes, plenty of basses are marketed as built for all styles of music, but the American Elite Precision can truly back that claim. For the record, four other finishes are also offered. Once I opened the case, I was hit with a touch of sensory overload from the new-bass smell and my first glance at this tobacco-burst beauty that brims with familiar lines and new features. Flying with this case would make me rest easier, so kudos to Fender for making it part of the package. IвЂ™m happy to see companies ramping up their case game because I still donвЂ™t like putting my basses in the cargo hold. The American Elite arrived in a rock-solid custom case. But that was a long time ago, so letвЂ™s fast-forward to today and the brand-new American Elite Precision-a 21st century incarnation of the P that didnвЂ™t leave this bassist wanting for much else. It had a short production life of just a couple years and, yes, there are some who loved it and some who didnвЂ™t. Introduced in 1983 towards the end of the CBS era, the Precision Elite was one such revision. Fender has always pushed in new directions, including variations on their mainstay wares. Both are wildly loyal, quick to point out discrepancies between releases, and ready to devour almost anything (except Jar Jar Binks) that is put on big screens or shelves. ThereвЂ™s an interesting parallel between Fender purists and Star Wars fans.
