A Pure Vintage 54 Precision Bass single coil pickup with classic passive electronics delivers powerful vintage tones with the signature low end thump. Fender completes the American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass with historically correct hardware including a two saddle bridge and Pure Vintage Reverse tuners.
An accurate replica of a 1954 P-Bass, the Fender American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass MN 2-Color Sunburst impresses with premium vintage tones and an authentic feel.
The one-piece maple neck in the powerful "'54 C" pro is bolted to the ash body using the classic Fender method.
Tradition-conscious construction
Staying true to the materials and methods of 1954, the American Vintage II 54 Precision Bass uses carefully selected tonewoods and vintage build techniques to capture the sound and character of the original. The ash body sits beneath a thin nitrocellulose finish and follows the soft contour body style that first appeared on the Stratocaster. The one piece maple neck, attached with Fender’s traditional bolt on design, features the robust 54 C profile and a 43.2 millimeter nut width, offering plenty of room for clean articulation of classic bass lines.
Featuring a Pure Vintage '54 Precision Bass single coil and classic passive electrics, the American Vintage II 1954 Preci delivers authentic vintage tone.
Authentic vintage sounds
To reproduce the tone of a genuine 1954 P Bass, the American Vintage II Precision Bass carries a Pure Vintage 54 single coil pickup in the middle position. Wound to precise period specifications and paired with factory installed flatwound strings, this pickup provides a strikingly punchy sound with natural compression that supports expressive bass playing. Volume andtone knobs on a chrome plated control plate allow detailed shaping of the instrument’s sonic character.
Pure Vintage Reverse Open-Gear tuners keep the American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass securely in tune.
Historically correct hardware
Every detail of the American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass reflects Fender’s dedication to authenticity. The Pure Vintage two saddle bridge with double pressed fiber saddles ensures precise adjustment of intonation and string action, while the string through body design contributes to the resonant vintage tone. Behind the bone nut, Pure Vintage Reverse open gear tuners hold tuning securely and complete the classic look.
