Fender American Original Precision Bass with traditional construction
For the construction of the Fender American Original '50s Precision Bass, Fender uses the original construction plans from the 1950s. Accordingly, the alder body has the historically correct proportions, while the screwed neck is made in one piece from maple and lies firmly in the hand with the strong "Thick C" profile. Last but not least, the nitrocellulose finish allows the wood to vibrate freely, giving the electric bass a lively sound.
Fender Pure Vintage '58 Split Coil
A split coil pickup in the typical mid-position is used on the Fender American Original '50 Precision Bass. The Fender Pure Vintage '58 Split Coil has an authentic material selection that includes coilformers made of vulcanized fiber, enamelled winding wire and Alnico V magnets. Accordingly, the four-string amp delivers a powerful bass sound with a deep bass foundation and a distinctive growling in the middle, making every note played noticeable in the pit of the stomach. The tried-and-tested passive circuit with volume and tone controls is also available for adjusting the timbre.
Vintage Style Hardware
Last but not least, the Fender American Original '50s Precision Bass is equipped with classic hardware in vintage style. The Fender 4-Saddle Vintage Style Bridge serves as a bridge on the body, whose four string riders guarantee an exact intonation adjustment and a comfortable string position. The thread-like surface also allows a certain adjustment of the string spacing. Behind the bone saddle, Fender Pure Vintage Reverse Open Gear tuners on the headstock ensure stable and precise tuning.
