Fender Precision Bass Traditional Japan 70s LH RW Vintage White

A "Traditional" Precision Bass: Fender Vintage Revisited by Made in Japan

The Made in Japan Traditional series builds on Fender's historic aesthetic while benefiting from meticulous "Made in Japan" craftsmanship. This Traditional 70s Precision Bass embraces the era's codes (glossy finish, vintage hardware, minimalist electronics) and combines them with a focus on reliability and consistent production. The result: a bass with classic character, designed to recapture the feel and sound of the Precision Bass, with solid build quality.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

This left-handed electric bass is especially suitable for beginner to intermediate bassists seeking a simple, effective, and immediately musical reference, but it also remains an excellent choice for seasoned musicians looking for a versatile P-Bass. The split pickup in the middle excels in rock, punk, pop, funk (both pick and fingerstyle), blues, and soul, with midrange that sits comfortably in a mix.

Sound

The core of the sound comes from the Vintage-Style Split Single-Coil Precision Bass: a Precision-typed split pickup designed to deliver clear attack, firm lows, and especially full mids that carry the bass line. The intentionally straightforward electronics (one volume, one tone) encourage a "plug and play" approach: volume to drive the amp, tone to switch from a warm, mellow register to a more punchy and present sound. The vintage 4-saddle bridge contributes to the response and "old school" feel, while offering precise intonation and action adjustment.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This bass comes factory-equipped with Nickel Plated Steel strings in .045-.105 gauge: you can keep this gauge to retain the intended feel and tension balance. For transport, a hard case is listed as compatible by the supplier: Classic Series Precision/Jazz Bass Wood Hardshell Case (P/N 0996166306) (not included).
