Fender Duff McKagan Deluxe Precision Bass - Black

Fender Duff McKagan Deluxe Precision Bass - Black

Unleash the thunder with the Fender Duff McKagan Deluxe Precision Bass, available now at Palen Music Center! This beast is a direct descendant of the '80s Jazz Bass Special that Duff McKagan famously wielded to lay down the iconic low end on Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction. It's not just a tribute; it's an evolution, packed with player-friendly features and the distinct stylistic touches that define Duff's signature sound. Get ready to experience massive tone and effortless playability that will have you commanding the rhythm section like a true rock legend.

Crafted with a resonant alder body, this bass delivers that classic Fender punch with a balanced blend of lows, mids, and highs, providing the perfect foundation for any genre. The sleek, black-painted "Modern C"-shaped quartersawn maple neck, complete with a "Deluxe Jazz Bass Special" headstock logo and pearloid block inlays, offers incredible comfort and speed, making intricate bass lines feel like second nature. The rosewood fingerboard, adorned with a special "12" inlay at the twelfth fret, adds a touch of classic elegance.

When it comes to tone, this bass means business. It features a powerful PJ pickup configuration, combining a vintage-style Precision Bass split-coil pickup in the middle with a roaring Seymour Duncan STKJ2B Jazz Bass single-coil in the bridge. This dynamic duo offers unparalleled tonal versatility, from fat, gritty rock tones to smooth, articulate jazz lines. The innovative TBX (Treble Bass Expander) tone circuit lets you dial in your perfect sound with precision, while the Hipshot Bass Xtender on the E-string tuner allows for instant drop-D tuning with a flick of a lever – perfect for those quick transitions on stage!
