In this YouTube video, Pete Wentz discusses his use of a customized Precision Bass.
Pete Wentz is seen with the Fender Custom Shop Pete Wentz PJ Precision Bass, distinguished by its string-through-body bridge and clear pickguard, as shown in a photo from Celebmix.
Pete used a Fender JP-90 back in the early days of Fall Out Boy. It's the bass he used to record Take This to Your Grave.
I asked Patrick Stump years ago via his Twitter ("What gear did Pete use to record Take This to Your Grave?") and he confirmed. You can find several photos of him playing it back in 2003.
