The neck and body of the Precision Bass are connected via a Custom Shop Neck Plate with Limited Edition engraving.
Classic construction with high quality tonewoods
Under the gauzy nitrocellulose finish with lovingly executed ageing, only carefully selected tonewoods are used, which promise a lively sound. The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Precision Bass features a two-piece alder body and a bolt-on Quartersawn Maple neck with a historically accurate Flat Laminated Rosewood fingerboard. The pleasingly round "'60 Precision Bass Oval C" neck profile with 44.5mm nut width also promises comfortable playing characteristics with enough room for clean finger placement.
While the Hand-Wound Custom Shop Split-Coil provides authentic vintage sounds, the Anodized Pickguard underlines the historically correct look.
Hand-wound split coil and passive circuitry
As pickup for the Limited Edition 1959 Precision Bass Aged Dakota Red the Fender Custom Shop chooses a hand-wound '57 split-coil pickup, which is placed in the middle of the body. Accordingly, the bass amplifier provides an absolutely authentic vintage sound with a deep bass foundation, rich growling low-mids and a silky overtone spectrum. To control the tone, the Custom Shop electric bass also offers the traditional passive circuit with controls for volume and tone.
The Journeyman Relic finish with the authentic playing traces of a well-kept vintage original provides a first-class playing feel.
Vintage-style bass machine heads promise accurate and stable tuning on the Fender Custom Shop 1959 Precision Bass.
Historically correct hardware equipment
Of course, a historically accurate hardware finish completes the Limited Edition 1959 Precision Bass Journeyman Relic Aged Dakota Red from Fender. While the large pickguard made of anodized aluminum determines the look of the bass, the vintage-style bridge ensures optimal adjustment of intonation and string action. Behind the bone saddle, vintage-style bass tun ers promise precise tuning of the four-stringer. Last but not least, the typical covers for bridge and bridge are installed.
