Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass - Butterscotch Blonde with Hardshell Case

The Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass: Foundational Tone. Pure Vintage Authority.

75 Years of Foundational Tone

Celebrate the birth of the electric bass with a faithful recreation of the instrument that started it all. The 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass honors three quarters of a century of revolutionary design and unmistakable low end authority. This limited edition model captures the essence of the original Precision Bass with period correct details and uncompromising build quality. The ash body finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer delivers the resonance, snap and organic feel that defined the earliest examples. It is lively in your hands and breathes with every note.

Authentic 1951 Neck Profile and Feel

The 1 piece maple neck features a substantial 1951 U profile that feels solid without ever feeling cumbersome. The 7.25 inch radius maple fingerboard and 20 vintage tall frets provide the smooth, familiar playing surface that players have relied on for decades. At a 34 inch scale, this is the blueprint. The response is immediate. The attack is authoritative. The feel is exactly what it should be.

The 75th Anniversary 1951 Single Coil Precision Bass Pickup

The 75th Anniversary 51 Single Coil Precision Bass pickup delivers the foundational thump and clarity that has shaped popular music for generations. There is punch. There is articulation. There is unmistakable character. Simple and effective, the control layout consists of Master Volume and Master Tone. 

Period Correct Hardware and Appointments

Vintage accuracy defines this build. The Pure Vintage 2 saddle Precision Bass bridge with fiber saddles is serialized and anchors the tone with classic sustain and intonation. Pure Vintage reverse open gear tuners provide smooth, reliable performance with the look and feel of the originals. A 1 ply black phenolic pickguard completes the classic aesthetic against the iconic Butterscotch Blonde finish. Nickel and chrome hardware round out the authentic presentation.
