Product Description
The Fender Vintera III Late 60s Precision Bass in 3 Colour Sunburst delivers the unmistakable look, feel and sound of a classic late sixties P Bass, with the reliability and playability of a modern instrument. With an alder body, late 60s C profile maple neck and a vintage style split single coil pickup, it is built to serve up that punchy, warm and woody Precision tone that has underpinned countless records.
From the round laminated fingerboard and 7.25 inch radius to the threaded steel saddle bridge and lollipop tuners, this bass is packed with period correct details that make it feel instantly familiar under the fingers. Whether you are chasing authentic Motown thump, classic rock growl or soulful R&B lines, the Vintera III Late 60s Precision Bass gives you the sound and response that made Fender basses legendary.
Authentic Late 60s Precision Feel
The late 60s C shape maple neck offers a comfortable, rounded profile that sits naturally in the hand, ideal for long sets and extended studio sessions. Combined with the 7.25 inch radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets, you get a smooth, slightly curved playing surface that encourages expressive vibrato, controlled bends and an effortless traditional feel that vintage fans will love.
Classic Alder Body and 3 Colour Sunburst Finish
An alder body provides the balanced, articulate tonal foundation that has defined Fender basses for decades, with a tight low end, present mids and clear top end. Finished in a timeless 3 Colour Sunburst with a gloss polyester coating, this bass looks every bit the part on stage, while the solid body construction helps deliver sustain and consistency gig after gig.
Vintage Style Late 60s Split Single Coil Pickup
At the heart of the Vintera III Late 60s Precision Bass is a vintage style late 60s split single coil pickup, voiced for classic P Bass authority. Expect a powerful, punchy midrange, supportive lows and a rounded top end that sits perfectly in a mix. From fingerstyle grooves to pick driven rock, the simple Master Volume and Master Tone controls make it easy to dial in everything from deep thump to articulate bite.
Period Correct Hardware and Details
Vintage style hardware completes the late sixties experience. The 4 saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles offers rock solid intonation and allows precise string spacing adjustments, while contributing to a bright, focused attack. Vintage style lollipop tuning machines provide stable tuning and a distinctive retro look, and the 4 ply tortoiseshell pickguard adds a classic visual touch that perfectly complements the sunburst finish.
