Fender® | Bass Guitars
Pure Vintage
To take the American Vintage series forward, we needed to return to the source and go back in time. We zeroed in on a
goldmine of unbelievable original vintage specimens, and we spared no detail in painstakingly dissecting and documenting
each phenomenal original-era instrument. We made the journey. We did the work. We dived deep. Every detail was scrutinized,
studied and honed.
After exhaustive research, we restored existing '50s-era tooling to the glory of its prime. We created new tooling to craft parts
even more authentically. Manufacturing processes were upgraded and refined. New pickups were voiced for each guitar and
bass. And much more. Watch the videos and look at the images to see some examples of the journey we took in researching
these vintage instruments to make our newest American Vintage models.

The American Vintage '58 Precision Bass® commemorates the first year in which
the bass that started it all appeared in a 3-Color Sunburst finish. That classic

Precision Bass brings you other authentic features including a lightweight alder
body (ash on White Blonde model), thick C-shaped maple neck with 20 vintagestyle frets and black dot inlays, gold anodized aluminum pickguard with lacquer
finish, and new American Vintage '58 split single-coil pickup. Also includes
lower-mounted finger rest, vintage-style bridge with threaded steel "barrel"
saddles, flat-top knurled chrome control knobs, reverse tuners, mounted chrome
pickup and bridge covers, and more. Available in 3-Color Sunburst, White

The year 1963 marks an important moment in Precision Bass® history, because
that's when a comfortable new round-laminated rosewood fingerboard first
appeared on the bass that started it all. That's here on the new American Vintage
'63 Precision Bass, which evokes that year's model with other authentic features
including a slightly wider C-shaped maple neck, clay-colored dot fingerboard
inlays, three-ply mint green pickguard (four-ply brown pickguard on 3-Color
Sunburst model), new American Vintage '63 split single-coil pickup, lowermounted finger rest, vintage-style bridge with threaded steel "barrel" saddles,
flat-top knurled chrome control knobs, reverse tuners, chrome pickup and bridge
covers, auxiliary strap button on the back of the headstock, and more. Available
in 3-Color Sunburst, Olympic White, Faded Sonic Blue and Frost Red.
