Fender Vintera III Late '60s Precision Bass in Firemist Gold

The Fender Vintera III Late '60s Precision Bass in Firemist Gold delivers the unmistakable look, feel and sound of a classic late sixties P-Bass, with modern build consistency and reliability. With its period-correct neck profile, vintage-style split single-coil pickup and timeless alder and rosewood tonewood pairing, it is a workhorse instrument that drops straight into any mix with punch, warmth and clarity.

Whether you are chasing the thump of classic soul, the growl of seventies rock or a more laid-back, rounded tone for modern pop, this Vintera III Precision Bass gives you that familiar Fender response under the fingers. The comfortable late '60s C-shaped neck, vintage-tall frets and 7.25 inch radius fingerboard make it a joy to play for long sets, while the vintage-style hardware keeps everything feeling and sounding authentically old-school.

Authentic Late '60s P-Bass Feel

The late '60s C-shaped maple neck with a 7.25 inch radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard delivers the unmistakable feel of a classic Precision from this era. It fills the hand without feeling bulky, encouraging a relaxed left-hand position that is ideal for both fingerstyle and pick players. Vintage-tall frets give you a precise, controlled feel under the fingers, making slides, vibrato and position shifts feel smooth and natural.

Classic Alder and Rosewood Tone

An alder body paired with a rosewood fingerboard gives you the quintessential Fender bass voice: focused low end, punchy mids and clear, singing highs. Alder keeps the response balanced and articulate, so every note remains defined even when you are digging in, while the rosewood board adds a touch of warmth and smoothness to the top end. It is a versatile combination that works across genres, from Motown lines to modern indie grooves.

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 punch, power and warmth. It delivers the woody, rounded thump that made the P-Bass a studio staple, with enough midrange presence to sit perfectly in a band mix. Roll back the tone for deep, old-school soul and reggae, or open it up for articulate rock and pop lines that cut through without ever sounding harsh.

Period-Correct Hardware and Styling

Vintage-style details complete the late sixties vibe. The 4-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles offers solid intonation and sustain while allowing easy string spacing tweaks, and the vintage-style lollipop tuning machines provide stable tuning with a distinctive retro look. Finished in striking Firemist Gold with a 3-ply parchment pickguard and aged-white pearloid dot inlays, this bass looks every bit as classic as it sounds.
