Whether in the Motor City, Tinsel Town or the Big Apple, on hit after hit, the Fender Precision Bass was the sound of the '60s, with a punch and definition that set it apart. The American Original '60s Precision Bass brings that same vibe and sound, updated with a modern feel. From the rosewood-topped maple neck to the period-correct pickups, vintage-style hardware and gloss nitro finish, it's an instrument you'll just want to keep on playing.
