Vintage tonal precision
This is a bass for the ages. So, naturally, it requires a tone with enough power, punch, and booming vintage flair to flourish for a lifetime of performances. That's why Fender have equipped the '59 Precision bass with a Custom Shop '59-'62 P-Bass pickup. As with all P-basses - it's a split single-coil. So you can count on your thunderous bass riffs to drive through the mix with elite clarity. The alnico V magnets offer a strong, beefy low-end, tight midrange, and bright, clear highs for an exceptionally well-balanced sound reminiscent of the very first Precision bass. Every detail is captured. And it showcases unparalleled quality in any genre.
Enhnace your playing potential
Quartersawn for premium quality. The maple neck and fingerboard on this bass offer exceptional playability. Smooth, sweet, and custom made, '60 oval "C"-shaped neck gives you the ability to craft your basslines with style and flair. Whether you're holding down a tight rhythm or shredding your way across the silky fretboard, this neck will maximise your capabilities. And it's got a nitro lacquer finish for exceptional feel and fluid manoeuvrability. You'll feel totally at home playing it.
One-of-a-kind style
What makes a Fender Custom Shop bass so special? There's an endless list of answers. But one of the most recognised features is the relic finishes. The '59 Precision Bass features a Relic finish for that sought-after worn look. Giving your bass more character and personal style, the relic design simply demands audience attention.
