Authentic 1960 Precision Bass Styling

The American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass features a meticulously crafted alder body with period-correct contours and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish in your choice of Daphne Blue, Olympic White, Black or 3-Color Sunburst. A C-shaped hard rock maple neck provides a comfortable playing feel, topped with a 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard and vintage-style frets. Clay dot inlays, a bone nut and nickel/chrome hardware complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Pure Vintage Pickup for Legendary Tone

At the heart of the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass lies its Pure Vintage '60 Split-Coil pickup, specially voiced to capture the quintessential tone of an early '60s P Bass. With its punchy, growling midrange and articulate low end, this pickup delivers the sound that defined the electric bass and influenced generations of musicians.

Modern Upgrades for Playability

While authentically recreating a vintage classic, Fender incorporated modern enhancements to improve playability. A slim, comfortable neck profile and 9.5" fingerboard radius provide a slick playing feel. The truss rod has also been updated for today's playing styles and string gages. These upgrades make the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass ideal for musicians seeking a vintage-style bass with modern performance.
