The Fender Classic 50s P-Bass has a Nitro Lacquer finish giving it a more open sound, a 'flatter' look and - if you're planning on keeping your Fender Classic Series bass for a while - will also lead to more-authentic wear for those who love finishes that have been worn by years of playing.
All the great features of Classic Series Fender basses are included on the Lacquer model. That includes a vintage 7.25" radius C shaped neck, vintage split single-coil bass pickup, gold-anodized pickguard, vintage reverse tuners and a tweed case.
Here's what Fender say about the Classic Series 50s P-Bass Lacquer
Introduced in the early 1950s, the Precision Bass profoundly affected the sound of popular music and quickly became an indispensable instrument for musicians everywhere. It introduced a deep and powerful new sound into the rocking and rolling 1950s and set a new stage for great sounds to come in the ensuing decades.
The Classic Series '50s Precision Bass Lacquer delivers the distinctive 1950s-era look, sound and vibe of those first Fender basses, with vintage style and an authentic nitrocellulose lacquer finish on its alder body. Other features include a "C"-shaped maple neck, 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets and black-dot inlays, vintage-style split single-coil pickup, gold anodized pickguard, four-saddle American Vintage bass bridge, and vintage-style reverse tuners. Tweed case included.
