crb011 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) A beautiful example of a fantastic bass. For the full specs have a look here: https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars/precision-bass/fender-american-elite-precision-bass-3-tone-sunburst Barely played and well looked after, with not even a slight blemish on it. The case has a very small dent on it (which occurred without the bass in it), but otherwise it is immaculate. Genuinely sad to be selling this but after the last 18 months I can't afford to keep it. Whoever buys it will fall in love with it. Would prefer collection, but can organise a courier at cost if necessary. I also travel all over the country for gigs, so let me know if you'd like it and I may be able to sort something.

petecarlton Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) I'm completely confused. Where does "American Elite" come in the Fender pecking order? Is it above or below "American Professional", for example? Lovely bass, by the way! Edited September 1, 2021 by petecarlton Heaping praise on instrument.

Hi, the Elite is the top end of the range (but below Custom Shop which are really expensive); it used to be the Fender USA Deluxe, then it became Fender USA Elite, and now Fender USA Ultra. The American Professional is what used to be the Fender USA Standard. They are all excellent and well made but the Deluxe/Elite/Ultra range have slightly better components cosmetically and the electronics are active rather than passive as in the Standard/Professional. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Thanks @BassedinBucks - you can see why I was confused!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassedinBucks Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 This bass looks lovely and having owned an Elite I can attest to the build quality and range of tonal sounds they can deliver, someone will get a top-end, versatile bass for this money.

crb011 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Thanks for that summary BassedinBucks, I find it pretty confusing myself, especially as Fender keep changing the names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 These are indeed nice basses. They have the MM-style truss rod adjuster and through-bridge string option, which both disappeared when the Elite became the Ultra. Passive sound can be selected via active/passive micro-switch on scratch-plate. GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I concur, these are great basses. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
