Description
Although it initially shared many design cues with the Telecaster, such as an oversized Tele headstock, slab body & chrome control plate, by 1954, the P-Bass had been updated with the same sweeping curves & contoured edges of the newly launched Stratocaster. The American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass reproduces the quintessential tone & feel of the original. Key features include a substantial '54 "C"-shape maple neck with a 7.25" radius fingerboard & vintage tall frets. The Pure Vintage 2-saddle bridge with fiber saddles, reverse open-gear tuners, finger rest & '54 Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup deliver classic Fender thump & style.
