Product Description
Celebrate the origins of the electric bass with the Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass. This stunning recreation captures the spirit of the world’s first production bass guitar, delivering bags of vibe and unmistakable vintage mojo.
Vintage looks, classic feel
Built from resonant Ash and finished in a lush nitrocellulose lacquer, this ’51 P-Bass oozes old-school charm. The 1-piece Maple neck feels instantly familiar, while the 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage-style frets give you that smooth, rounded playability players have loved since the golden age of Fender.
Authentic ’51 Precision punch
At the heart of this bass lies the 75th Anniversary 1951 Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup — a faithful recreation of the tone that changed music forever. Expect that iconic thump, clarity and warm midrange presence that defined the sound of countless records.
Period-correct hardware throughout
Fender has gone all-in on vintage accuracy here. From the serialized bridge sporting Pure Vintage Precision Bass fiber saddles to the reverse open-gear tuners, every detail is designed to look, feel and perform just like the original. Completing the look is a classic 1-ply black phenolic pickguard.
The 75th Anniversary Precision Bass Collection
Three‑quarters of a century of Fender innovation deserves something truly special, and the 75th Anniversary Precision Bass Collection delivers in style. These instruments honour everything that made the P‑Bass an icon, blending classic tone with contemporary craftsmanship. If you’ve ever wanted to add a real slice of Fender heritage to your collection, this is your chance.
Features
- Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish: A classic nitro finish just like Fender used in the ’50s and ’60s, letting the wood breathe and sing naturally. It ages beautifully too, adding character the more you play.
- Ash body: Delivers a warm, lively tone with sparkling highs and a punchy midrange. Its gorgeous grain gives the bass that unmistakable vintage look.
- 1951 “U” neck profile: This chunky shape gives you the confident, old-school feel of the OG ‘51 P-Bass.
- 75th Anniversary ‘51 single‑coil P-Bass pickup: Voiced to nail the sound of the very first Precision Bass, this pickup brings all the clarity, thump and attitude you’d expect. It’s made with period-correct materials like cloth wire, fibre bobbins and alnico magnets.
- Pure Vintage bridge with fibre saddles: A faithful recreation of the early-’50s bridge for ultra-authentic tone and response. The serialized design adds an extra touch of collectible accuracy.
- Pure Vintage reverse open‑gear tuners: Offer smooth, reliable performance with a proper retro look. They’re built just like the originals to keep everything era correct.
- Included vintage‑style tweed case: Comes with a premium tweed case featuring a plush crushed‑red interior — a perfect match for a bass with this much heritage.
