I will be using Schaller chrome tuning machines for American Deluxe basses manufactured from 2004-2006. (Made in Germany) They include larger mounting guide posts, a larger "flat paddle" design, and screw-in bushings (included, along with washers):

Hello there!

I am about to buy a Status Graphite Neck for this 2019 Fender American Performer Precision P. Have you ever prayed a Fender P ( Not a Warmoth or any other brand! ) but an American P with a Status Graphite Neck? Do you have any recommendations for me on this project?


Description:

Fender American Performer Precision Bass - Alder- 6 lbs, 3 oz.

Genuine Fender Yosemite Single Coil Precision & Jazz Pickups.

Volume 1. (Middle Pickup), Volume 2. (Bridge Pickup), Master Greasebucket Tone Circuit (Rolls Off Highs without Adding Bass)

Color: Arctic White

Year: 2019

Country/Make: American

Comments:
Thinner undercoat for improved resonance and new Yosemite single coil Jazz/Precision bass pickups for a more open tone and faster attack. Fender Greasebucket circuitry rolls off the highs without adding bass.

Any input will be highly appreciated!

Thank you
I put a Status graphite neck on my stingray five. They're just wonderful. I might also recommend putting Hipshot Ultralite tuners on the neck.

Any special reasons for Hipshot Ultralite tuners beside the lightweight?

Fender American Performer Precision Review by Steve Cook

Say what you want about Fender's designs, redesigns, reintroductions, etc. Simply put, the American Performer Precision really impressed. Granted, the bass isn't a trueP, but the tonal options would make it appeal to just about anyone. If I had to choose one thing that made this bass special, it would be the aforementioned tonal variations that are suitable for a lot of different music. This bass was built for everything under the sun, and for a U.S.-crafted instrument with this attention to detail and playability, you'd be hard-pressed to spend the same money elsewhere and get the same results.
