Fender invented the electric bass guitar, introducing
the Precision Bass in 1951. Its thick sound and indestructible build changed
the face of popular music. New American Standard Precision basses are today’s
versions of the great instruments of bass heroes past and present—the modern
interpretations of our classic instrument, refined for today’s players.
1962 was another groundbreaking year for
the Fender bass guitar that started it all. The classic American Vintage
'62 Precision Bass features a rosewood fingerboard, tortoiseshell pickguard
and nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Sounds and feels even greater than it
looks! Please Note: The American Vintage ’62 Precision Bass is shipped
with the chrome bridge and pickup covers unmounted, but included in the
accessory kit. The Fender '62 P-bass is shown above in its Sunburst
finish and features a solid Alder body with C-shape neck, reverse
tuners, vintage style frets, nitro finish and slab rosewood
fingerboard ... just like the one James Jamerson used on all of those Motown
recordings!

The new American Standard Precision basses feature the new high-mass vintage
bridge, a thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves
resonance, new and improved Fender tuning keys that keep the classic look
but are 30 percent lighter, a richer and deeper neck tint for a more elegant
appearance, a great-looking glossed maple or rosewood fingerboard and satin
back for smooth playability, a new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case and
a gorgeous "Candy Cola" finish option as shown above.
Since its introduction in 1951, the Fender Precision
Bass guitar has dramatically influenced the way we play and hear music.
In the booming half-century since, the Precision has affected almost every
imaginable genre of popular music.
Our American Vintage ’57 Precision Bass pays tribute
to this landmark instrument with accurate detailing, including electronics
and hardware—from the split single-coil pickups to the vintage tuning machines
and nitrocellulose lacquer finish. A true Fender classic. The Fender '57
P-bass is pictured with the White Blonde translucent nitro lacquer finish
and features a one-piece maple neck, anodized pickguard and '57 P-bass
pickup with raised A-string polepiece. |
