General

There are plenty of bassists who'd love to own a vintage P bass from 1963, but they're hard to find and definitely not cheap. This Fender American Original '60s Precision Bass has all the classic sound at an excellent price. The alder body is fitted with a bolt-on, 1963 C-profile, maple neck and both have been given finished with high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, allowing the wood to breathe and age naturally. This solid-body bass guitar has a rounded rosewood fretboard just like the original models.

Well-known bassists like Roger Waters (ex Pink Floyd) and John Deacon (Queen) chose to play a 1963 Precision Bass with good reason. This model is renowned for its ability to produce full sounding lows with prominent mids that cut clearly through virtually any mix. This American Original '60s P bass faithfully replicates that sound via the mounted Pure Vintage '63 Precision Bass split single-coil pickup with Alnico 5 magnets, wiring and output cables which all ensure that authentic sound, heard in countless songs and on numerous albums in every genre.
