Patina Guitars PPB-3 Bass Fiesta Red

A custom handwound Alnico V split-coil pickup delivers the deep lows, punchy midrange, and articulate attack that have made the Precision-style bass the foundation of countless recordings. From vintage soul and classic rock to modern pop and indie, the PPB-3 FRD sits perfectly in the mix with rich, focused tone and exceptional dynamic response.

Lightweight comfort with natural resonance

Built from lightweight paulownia, the PPB-3 FRD remains comfortable during long rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the body to resonate freely while naturally developing character over time, creating an instrument that ages alongside your playing.

Smooth feel from the first note

The quarter-sawn roasted maple neck features a satin finish and a comfortable Modern C profile that feels instantly familiar. Combined with a rosewood fingerboard and jumbo stainless steel frets, the PPB-3 FRD offers effortless movement across the neck, precise intonation, and a confident playing experience in every position.

Ready for every stage

A solid four-saddle bridge and premium lightweight tuners provide excellent tuning stability, sustain, and dependable performance. Luminescent side dots improve visibility on dark stages, ensuring you stay locked in whether you're performing under bright lights or in a dimly lit venue.
