The Fender American Vintage ’63 Precision Bass 4-String Bass Guitar in Faded Sonic Blue has been released to celebrate the year the Precision Bass was first made available with a Rosewood fingerboard.
The Fender American Vintage ’63 Precision Bass features a historically-accurate Alder body that is joined by a C-shape Maple neck that is slightly wider than the models that preceded it. The neck itself is topped by a 20-fret round-laminated Rosewood fingerboard with clay-coloured dot inlays. This combination of woods helps to produce a lightweight instrument that is both easy to play and full to the brim of amazing, natural tones.
The body of the Fender American Vintage ’63 Precision Bass guitar is fitted with a newly designed American Vintage ’63 Precision Bass split single-coil pickup that has been custom voiced to accurately replicate the sounds of that era. These are connected to simple control circuit that consists purely of a master tone and master volume control. Complimenting this setup is a vintage-style bridge with threaded steel barrel saddles, a set of American Vintage reverse open gear tuners, a three-ply mint green pickguard and chrome pickup and bridge covers.
