Description
Before the Precision Bass had reverse tuners or a gold anodized guard, it had this: a slab of ash, a chunky maple neck, and one split single-coil doing all the talking. The American Vintage ’58 revisits that original blueprint, and the White Blonde finish shows off the ash grain the way Fender intended in ’58.
- Lightweight ash body (this White Blonde model uses ash, while other finishes on the model use alder) paired with a gold anodized aluminum pickguard under a lacquer finish
- Thick, large “C”-shaped 1-piece maple neck with 20 vintage-style frets, black dot inlays, and a 7.25″ fingerboard radius — built for players who want real neck in their hand
- New American Vintage ’58 split single-coil pickup delivers the growl and pull that defined the P-Bass sound before anyone thought to complicate it
- Simple Volume/Tone control setup with flat-top knurled chrome knobs — no distractions between you and the low end
- Vintage-style bridge with threaded steel “barrel” saddles, plus mounted chrome pickup and bridge covers for the full period-correct look
- Reverse open-gear tuning machines, bone nut, and a lower-mounted finger rest round out the historically accurate hardware package
- 34″ scale, 1.735″ nut width, vintage-style heel-adjust truss rod
- Ships strung with Fender USA Super Bass 7250ML nickel-plated steel strings (.045–.100)
This is the bass that anchored countless recordings before P-Basses got fancy. If you want that dense, woody fundamental and don’t need a modern C-neck or active electronics to feel comfortable on stage, the ’58 reissue puts the original recipe back in your hands — covers, barrel saddles, and all.
