In the attached photo and album, pictures from a live performance by Måneskin show Vic using her Fender Precision bass with PJ pickups. Famously written on the bass is "Girls Bite Back". I've concluded it's the Fender Player Plus Precision based on the control layout with 4 knobs and a switch between the 2 knobs closest to the bridge, a control layout that no other Fender bass has.
