The Precision Bass Plus is an electric bass made by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. Introduced in 1989, this model, usually known as the "Boner P-Bass", was the first American-made Fender bass to feature 22 frets. It has a slightly larger body shape to accommodate the longer 22-fret neck. Other features included a solid alder or ash body, a 1-piece maple neck with rosewood or maple fingerboard, Lace Sensor P/J pickups, Schaller deluxe die-cast tuning machines, 3-ply black, white or 4-ply brown tortoise shell pickguard, Schaller Elite fine-tuning bridge, 3-way toggle pickup switch, master volume, series/parallel push-push button for the neck pickup and master TBX tone. It was discontinued in 1992.

[edit] Precision Bass Plus Deluxe

This bass features the same specifications as the Precision Bass Plus, but has a downsized body shape, no pickguard, side-mounted jack socket and a Kubicki-designed 2-band active EQ with separate stacked control pots for master volume, pickup pan, treble and bass. Introduced in 1991, it was discontinued in 1994 and replaced by the American Deluxe Precision Bass in 1995.
