Crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, this instrument from Fender's prestigious American Vintage II series pays homage to the ground-breaking design that forever shaped the music industry.

Sporting a Strat-style headstock shape, comfort-contoured body, pickguard-mounted electronics, and a 4-saddle bridge, this bass showcased a refined, enduring aesthetic that has captivated musicians for generations.
With a premium alder body, a Pure Vintage '60 Split-Coil P-Bass pickup, and a substantial "C"-shaped hard rock maple neck paired with a 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass faithfully reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of its predecessor. Its exquisite craftsmanship and exceptional playability make it an ideal choice for musicians who crave the authentic vintage Fender experience. Every aspect of the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass exudes quality and authenticity. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish showcases the instrument's true tonal character, just like the iconic Fenders of the '50s and '60s. The alder body delivers a well-balanced tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end, ensuring that each note you play resonates with clarity and depth.
The 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard offers a comfortable playing experience reminiscent of vintage instruments, while the vintage-tall frets make bending notes a breeze without sacrificing playability. The 1960 C-shaped profile is carefully designed with reference to original profiles of that era, offering a truly authentic playing experience. True to the golden era of Fender, the Pure Vintage '60 Split-Coil Precision Bass pickup captures the distinct sound and performance of its era. With cloth-covered wire, fibre bobbins, and alnico magnets, these pickups faithfully reproduce the iconic tones that made Fender basses legendary.
