Frequently Asked Questions

The 'Split Coil' design uses two coils instead of one, providing a slightly more refined and articulate tone with a bit more clarity and less muddiness while retaining that classic P Bass warmth.
Fender’s AV II series aims for accuracy, and the 'inC' profile is based on extensive historical research and measurement of genuine 1960s Fender necks, though it's a recreation, not an original.
The nitrocellulose lacquer over polyurethane provides a glossier finish and a layer of protection, but the nitro contributes to the wood’s resonance; the polyurethane helps prevent checking and wear, extending the instrument’s lifespan.
