Description

This is the instrument that made bass guitar a thing—reissued with the fine-tuned playability players actually want under their fingers. Fender didn’t just chase nostalgia here; they went back to 1958 and rebuilt the Precision pickup from scratch: enamel-coated coil wire, cloth-covered leads, fiber bobbins, alnico 5 magnets. Plug in and you get that raw, woody thump that defined the low end of rock, soul, and everything after it.

The Thick “C” maple neck with vintage-tall frets gives you a substantial handful of neck—great for players who like to dig in and let the string fight back a little. A 9.5″ radius maple board, bone nut, and period-correct body radii keep the whole thing feeling honest to the original design rather than a modernized copy. The gloss nitro finish over an alder body isn’t just for looks—it lets the wood breathe, so tone opens up as the instrument gets played in, and it’ll pick up dings and wear like a bass with actual mileage.

Vintage-style hardware rounds it out: a 4-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles, Pure Vintage reverse open-gear tuners, and a gold anodized pickguard that nods hard to the ’50s without feeling like a costume. Master volume, master tone—no overthinking required. Comes with a vintage-style hardshell case for the ride to the gig.
