Fender Precision Bass Late '60s Vintera III MN 3-Color Sunburst

A Fender Tribute to the Late 60s Precision Bass

Part of the Fender Vintera III series, this Precision Bass strikes the right balance between period aesthetics and modern playability. It features iconic late sixties choices, from the 4-ply tortoise pickguard to the "Lollipop" tuners, and the tight 7.25" radius that enhances the vintage character under the fingers. A bass designed to recapture the look, feel, and response that marked the history of soul, rock, and pop recordings.

For Which Bassist and Styles?

With its simple and effective electronics (a master volume and a master tone), this P-Bass is especially suited for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a reliable instrument for stage and studio. It shines in soul, Motown, 60s/70s rock, pop, indie, and vintage funk, while remaining versatile enough for modern productions looking for solid, clear lows.

Sound

The Vintage-Style Late '60s Split Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup delivers the quintessential Precision sound: full bass, present mids that cut through the mix effortlessly, and soft, musical highs. The alder body provides balance and definition, while the combination of maple neck and "round-laminated" maple fingerboard enhances attack and clarity. The passive circuit allows you to go from a muffled, round tone (closed tone control) to a more open and punchy sound for rock, with sustain naturally supported by the vintage threaded-saddle bridge.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This bass is a 4-string Precision Bass format with a 34" / 864 mm scale length, so you can confidently choose a set of Long Scale strings in gauges .045-.105, such as the original Fender USA 7250M (nickel). For transport, a standard Precision/Jazz Bass hard case is a safe option alongside the included Deluxe gig bag, and a quality strap (leather ends) is compatible with Fender's original strap buttons.
