Meticulously crafted with period-accurate components, premium finishes, and meticulously voiced pickup, this bass captures the essence of Fender's legendary early '60s P-Bass. The late '50s and early '60s marked a pivotal era in the evolution of the Precision Bass, with the introduction of ground-breaking appointments that became synonymous with the iconic P-Bass. By 1960, the Precision Bass had undergone a transformation, featuring a Strat-style headstock shape, comfort-contoured body, pickguard-mounted electronics, and a 4-saddle bridge. Dressed in a sleek black finish, this 1960 Precision Bass exudes a refined and enduring aesthetic. 

Crafted with a premium alder body, Pure Vintage '60 Split-Coil P-Bass pickup, and a substantial "C"-shaped hard rock maple neck coupled with a 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass faithfully reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original. Its exceptional craftsmanship and impeccable playability make it the ideal choice for musicians seeking the ultimate vintage Fender experience.

Featuring a glossy nitrocellulose lacquer finish, this bass showcases its true tonal character, just like the iconic Fender instruments of the '50s and '60s. The alder body delivers a well-balanced tone with robust lows and beefy mids, providing a solid foundation for your musical expression. The 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard offers a comfortable playing experience reminiscent of vintage instruments, while the vintage-tall frets make bending notes effortless without compromising playability. The 1960 C-shaped profile is carefully designed with reference to original profiles of that era, offering a truly authentic playing experience.

Equipped with the Pure Vintage '60 Split-Coil Precision Bass pickup, meticulously voiced to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of the original, this bass delivers the distinctive tones that made Fender basses legendary. With cloth-covered wire, fibre bobbins, and alnico magnets, these pickups embody the true essence of Fender's golden years. From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of hardware on the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass is meticulously manufactured to look, sound, and function just like the originals. Many components are still produced using the same '50s and '60s era Fender factory machines, ensuring the utmost authenticity.
