A Founding Icon, Celebrated for Fender's 75th Anniversary
Born in 1951, the Precision Bass defined the role of the electric bass in modern music. This 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 edition replicates the craftsmanship, materials, and feel of the very first P-Bass, in the legendary "Butterscotch Blonde" finish, with a level of fidelity that will delight collectors and purists alike.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Designed for intermediate to expert bassists seeking an instrument with a strong vintage character. Perfect for original rock'n'roll, classic rock, country, blues, rockabilly, roots R&B, and Americana. Whether in the studio or on stage, it delivers a natural presence in the mix and a highly musical dynamic response.
Sound
The '51 single-coil delivers a dense midrange, precise attack, and the typical "piano-like" clarity of early P-Basses, with a massive fundamental. The combination of swamp ash/maple adds controlled brightness, projection, and sustain, while the nitrocellulose finish allows the body to vibrate freely. The 2-saddle bridge and fiber saddles contribute to a dry, percussive tone, ideal with flatwound strings for that vintage "thump."
