The
groundbreaking S-1 switching system allows players to switch from humbuckers to
single-coils in an instant. This switch is visually undetectable but tonally it
turns your instrument into the most versatile axe on the planet! Located in the
crown of the master volume knob, one push of the switch will place your pickups
in an endless assemblage of parallel and series pickup configurations. You can
have the best of all worlds!
The American
Series P Bass that everyone knows and loves is better than ever! The new S-1
switching system makes this bass extremely versatile and gives the player an
array of cool new sounds to go with some fantastic new colors and finishes! With
the S-1 switching system engaged, it switches the American P Bass split
single-coil pickup from series to parallel giving the bass a brighter, snappier
tone similar to a J Bass. American Series P Bass guitars feature a solid alder
or ash body (depending on color) with a graphite-reinforced, modern “C”-shaped
maple neck and a satin polyurethane finish (available with maple or rosewood
fingerboard).
