With the Fender Limited Edition 1962 Precision Bass Relic Aged Candy Apple Red, the FenderCustom store sends an authentic reissue of the early sixties Precision bass into the race, which thanks to the Relic finish has the look and feel of a genuine vintage instrument with strong character. In addition to the lightweight alder body, Fender uses a bolt-on quartersawn maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and a beefy '60 Oval C' profile. A hand-wound Fender Custom Shop '62 P-Bass split-coil pickup with historically accurate passive electronics provides the coveted fat Preci sound at the bass amp, its rich bass and low-mid foundation bringing the grooves of funk, soul, rock and Blues to life. In addition to the FenderVintage-Style bass bridge and precise vintage-style tuners, the historically accurate pickup and bridge covers complete the Fender 1962 Precision Bass.
The classic Candy Apple Red Fender finish and hardware have been given authentic playing marks through Relic's extensive aging process.

Traditional Precision Bass with high-quality woods
For the construction of the Fender 1962 Precision Bass, the FenderCustom store relies on traditional woods of the highest quality, so that the four-stringer comes up with a lively response and a long Sustain. Selected light alder is used for the body, while the neck is made of sturdy quartersawn maple with standing annual rings. The strong "'60 Oval C" neck profile also promises comfortable playing characteristics on the 20-fret rosewood fingerboard.

For the pickup on the Fender 1962 Precision Bass Relic Aged Candy Apple Red, the Luthier at FenderCustom Shop choose a Hand-Wound '62 P-Bass split-coil pickup.
