Fender Vintera II 50s Precision Bass, Maple Fingerboard, Desert Sand Overview
Boasting era-correct specs including a 50s-voiced pickup, the Fender Vintera II 50s Precision Bass is geared towards the bass players who love vintage Fender instruments and are on the hunt for a rock-solid, workhorse bass guitar that won’t break the bank.
The Fender Vintera II '50s Precision Bass serves as a tribute to Fender’s storied heritage, embodying everything that made the original '50s models legendary at a more affordable price point. Whilst this Vintera II P-Bass owes its inspiration to Fender’s Golden Era, it offers today’s bassist the durability and stable performance expected from a modern workhorse instrument.
Substance in the Silhouette
With its alder body and maple neck, this 4-string bass guitar delivers authentic Fender Precision Bass tone — punchy yet clear. The neck is sculpted to a late-'50s “C” shape that recreates the feel of the original P-Bass that it’s based on. Its 7.25-inch radius fingerboard and vintage-tall frets provide a comfy canvas for expressive techniques, from hard-hitting punk riffs to ornate jazz licks.
50s Voiced Pickup
At the heart of the Vintera II 50s P-Bass is a vintage-voiced '50s split-coil pickup. This era-correct pickup assures a faithful replication of the tone that made the Precision Bass a mainstay in music history. Don’t be fooled by the inviting simplicity of the P-Bass, there’s a reason why it’s been a go-to for virtually any type of playing style. It sounds spot on and seamlessly fits into the mix, straight away.
Vintage-Inspired Hardware
As well as featuring a period-correct look that matches the 50s-inspired aesthetic, the vintage-style 4-saddle bridge and tuning machines contribute to precise intonation and rock-solid tuning stability. Whether you’re practising at home or putting it through its paces during a live performance, the Fender Vintera II 50s Precision Bass can withstand it all without breaking a sweat.
