Explanation:
The "two-piece" is the part of the bass replica you use to "play" the instrument. It is in the place where the pickup would be and where you would normally strum the chords...

"Two-piece" refers to the "Strum Bar"

Explanation:
"Two-piece" refers to the "Strum Bar", which consists of (is “dual” / “split” in) two pieces, thus allowing for two-finger flicking of the Strum Bar (which is located at the position where a bass player would usually pick the string).

Quoting from below link, which contains your phrase, should make things clear:
“Officially licensed Fender Precision Bass Replica is the must-have bass guitar for every Rock Band enthusiast. The custom finish and strap both ensure your bass axe will look as good as the real thing on and off stage. With the premium-quality Dual/Split Strum Bar you can hit notes like never before. Its two-piece design allows for two-finger flicking like no other bass can offer, meaning the patent-pending technology provides the extra edge you need to excel in the game.”
