Era-accurate “C”-shaped neck serves up classic feel
Ask any player who has spent time with a vintage P Bass, and you’ll hear a string of descriptors ranging from deep and balanced to one of a kind. The Vintera II ’50s Precision Bass’s “C”-shaped neck gives you the same classic feel and includes a period-correct 7.25-inch fingerboard radius with 20 vintage-style frets. This neck sits beautifully in your hand and boasts a touch-and-response dynamic that opens the doors of stylistic exploration.
Tim Shaw-designed pickup delivers classic P Bass tones
The Fender Vintera II ’50s Precision Bass comes armed with a Tim Shaw-designed split single-coil pickup. This pup boasts an Alnico V magnet, Formvar-coated wire, and staggered beveled pole pieces — everything you need to reproduce the fat low end, punchy midrange, and toothy treble that made the original P Bass so versatile. Jazz, funk, rock — this bass can cover it all with the kind of tonal styling that leaves you and your audience satisfied.
