Description
If you’ve ever wanted the low-end thump of a Precision Bass with the vocal, sliding character of an upright, this is Squier’s answer. The Vintage Modified Precision Bass Fretless was the brand’s first fretless P-Bass, and it pairs that split single-coil P pickup — the one responsible for decades of round, thumping tone — with a laurel fingerboard that’s been left bare of frets. White inlaid fret lines keep you honest on pitch while you work on your slides, ghost notes, and vibrato.
The maple neck wears a Modern C profile that sits comfortably in the hand, finished off with a 1.625″ synthetic bone nut and a 9.5″ fingerboard radius that makes fast position shifts feel natural. Under the tortoiseshell pickguard, you get straightforward controls — master volume, master tone — via knurled dome knobs, nothing to overthink at a gig. Vintage-style open-gear tuners and a four-saddle bridge with single-groove saddles round out hardware that’s built for tuning stability, not fuss.
