Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II Precision Bass Guitar, Butterscotch Blonde

For seventy-five gold-plated years, we've got the Fender 75th Anniversary Precision Bass Collection American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass! This authentically vintage Precision Bass plays as part of Fender's limited 75th Anniversary Precision Bass Collection. Throwing it back to Fender's earliest models, this American Vintage II Precision Bass features an impressive lineup of specs seldom seen in today's P Basses.

A true '50s classic in the modern day, this American Vintage II P Bass sets off with a blast from the past kind of experience. Everything here starts with Fender's double-cutaway ash body wrapped in a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Hearkening to Fender's earliest days and one of their first tonewoods of choice, this ash body carries comfortably and plays with great resonance. A one-piece maple neck extends from this body filling out to a prominent, vintage-style 1951 "U" profile. This capital "V" vintage neck assumes the chunky, baseball-bat-style profile of Fender's earliest models. A maple fingerboard fills out with twenty Vintage Tall frets laid out across a 7.25"-measuring radius. Fully retro to grab hold of a P Bass like so many early Fender adopters did, this limited American Vintage II P Bass hits all the marks.

With its voice, this American Vintage II Precision Bass hearkens to Fender's humble beginnings. One Fender 75th Anniversary Pure Vintage '51 Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup drives this whole ship forward with a warm, thumping tone that made the P Bass an immediate hit. Master volume and tone controls shape the pickups' voice for an intuitive and effortless playing feel. The voice of this P Bass is backed up by a simple hardware setup featuring a bone nut, Pure Vintage Reverse Open-Gear tuning machines, and a Pure Vintage 2-Saddle Precision Bass bridge with fiber saddles. This limited P Bass travels with an included chrome bridge cover and a Fender Vintage-Style Tweed hardshell case with a crushed red interior.

A revival of Fender's (first?) big 1950s hit, the 75th Anniversary Collection American Vintage II Precision Bass is ready for another ride around the block.
