This 1958 Fender Precision Bass represents an important point in the model's early evolution, retaining many of the features that helped establish the electric bass in popular music. Finished in Sunburst, this all-original example shows significant play wear across the body. Its maple neck, split-coil pickup, and alder body deliver the punch, warmth, and clarity that made the Precision Bass a fixture on countless recordings throughout the late 1950s and beyond, and the anodized gold guard is wicked cool. The extensive wear gives this instrument the look of a bass that spent years in regular rotation, while its originality makes it an especially compelling survivor from Fender's early years. It's a vintage Precision with the character and sound that continue to make these first-generation examples so desirable.
Includes modern Fender tweed hard shell case.
