Fender 75th Anniversary American Professional II PJ Bass - 2-Color Sunburst

Seventy-five years after it revolutionized the role of the electric bass, the Precision Bass remains the undisputed heartbeat of modern music—a pure, foundational expression of power and purpose. The Fender 75th Anniversary American Professional II PJ Bass expands upon that legacy with a refined, performance-driven approach that pairs iconic P Bass punch with the articulate growl of a Jazz Bass bridge pickup. A resonant alder body capped with flamed maple adds visual distinction and focused attack, while a 1963 “C” maple neck with rolled fingerboard edges and a sculpted heel delivers classic feel with modern comfort. Anniversary V-Mod II Precision Bass and Jazz Bass pickups cover everything from foundational low-end thump to articulate midrange definition and cutting clarity, and a HiMass bridge with lightweight vintage-style tuners ensures sustain, balance and dependable tuning stability. Finished in 2-Color Sunburst with gold hardware throughout, this limited-edition PJ Bass is a high-performance tribute to one of the most influential bass designs of all time.

Alder Body With Flamed Maple Top for Focused Attack and Striking Visual Presence

A resonant alder body forms the core of this instrument, delivering the balanced midrange authority and tight low-end response that have defined the Precision Bass tone for generations. Known for its clarity and mix-ready punch, alder provides a focused foundation whether anchoring a groove or pushing more dynamic, expressive passages. This anniversary edition is topped with striking flamed maple, adding subtle brightness and rich visual depth beneath the two-tone sunburst finish. Plus, the gloss urethane coating preserves resonance while ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance across demanding stage and studio environments.

V-Mod II PJ Pickup Configuration for Foundational Punch and Expanded Versatility

Equipped with 75th Anniversary V-Mod II Precision Bass and Jazz Bass pickups, this PJ Bass delivers a broad tonal spectrum without sacrificing identity. The split-coil Precision Bass pickup provides the authoritative low-end thump and focused midrange presence that have anchored countless recordings, while the Jazz Bass bridge pickup introduces articulate growl and added definition. Independent volume controls allow players to blend the two voices with precision, shaping everything from classic P Bass weight to tighter, more cutting textures suited to modern styles. The result is a flexible, performance-ready platform rooted in unmistakable Fender character.

1963 “C” Maple Neck With Rolled Edges and Sculpted Heel

The maple neck features Fender’s 1963 “C” profile, offering a substantial, reassuring shape that recalls early Precision Bass designs while remaining comfortable for extended sessions. A matching maple fingerboard with rolled edges delivers a broken-in feel that sits naturally in the hand, while the 9.5" radius and 20 medium-jumbo frets support smooth position shifts and articulate note definition. A sculpted neck heel improves upper-register access without altering the instrument’s classic silhouette, and the Super-Natural satin finish reduces friction for effortless movement. Together, these details balance vintage character with contemporary ergonomics.

HiMass Bridge and Lightweight Vintage-Style Tuners for Sustain and Stability

The four-saddle HiMass bridge enhances note density and sustain by increasing contact with the body for a more immediate, authoritative response. Its top-load design maintains a familiar playing feel while reinforcing low-end solidity. Fender lightweight vintage-style tuning machines with tapered shafts improve balance and reduce headstock mass, contributing to a stable, well-centered playing experience. Together, the bridge and tuners provide reliable intonation, dependable tuning stability and the confident response required for demanding live and studio work. Finally, gold hardware underscores the anniversary treatment, adding visual refinement to a platform engineered for performance.
