A Player Plus Precision Bass in a late‑model configuration; the listing states 2021 and the instrument sits in Fender’s Player Plus tier.

Why we selected it today

The Precision Bass remains the benchmark split‑coil bass and the Player Plus tier is aimed at players wanting modern features. The asking price of $913.36 compares strongly to a historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark of $1,429.11 (about 36% lower) — a sizeable reduction versus that historical benchmark. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

How the asking price compares

At $913.36, this sits against a current median asking price of $0 across 3 other closely matched listings. For now, the current market median remains the main AG benchmark at $1,429.11. The featured guitar is about 36.1% below that level. That earns AG’s Great Price rating: on the evidence available, it is notably keener than the centre of the current asking-price market. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.

What a buyer should check

Check neck relief, truss‑rod operation, fret wear and pickup output. Confirm whether the neck, body, bridge and electronics are original before treating an older instrument as collectible.
