Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass, Rosewood Fingerboard, Daphne Blue

The Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass is a hard-wearing, top-grade instrument which guarantees a luxury standard of performance every time you pick up and play. Built with cutting edge engineering and innovation by some of the world's finest guitar makers, this bass accurately represents the sound and feel of some of Fender's earliest products. Equipped with an alder body, the tone of the guitar is natural and warm, with a focused mid rage and sparkling highs provided by the maple neck.

What's more, the vintage split coil pickup ensures a powerful low-end which is tight and highly responsive to the dynamics of your playing. Featuring a gorgeous, Daphne Blue finish with a tortoiseshell pickguard, this premium-grade instrument oozes class and style. The visual aesthetic is tied together by the exposed timber of the rosewood fretboard and classic strat-style maple head stock - for a perfectly balanced experience on stage, at home or in the studio.

Built for the road

The Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass is fully equipped with a vintage 4-saddle bridge, which works in perfect harmony with the bone nut and metal tuning pegs to maintain a highly stable tuning as well as a comfortable action of the strings over the fretboard. This means you can say goodbye to retuning between every song – putting your performance first. A stunning 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard complements the eye-catching Daphne Blue finish of the body, on top of protecting it from those more intensive jamming sessions for a long-lasting performance that looks fantastic. When you invest in any Fender Vintage product, you know that passion and care is poured into every element and designed to last a lifetime - and the Fender Custom Shop '62 J Bass Relic is no different.

The intuitive control knobs allow you to balance out the sound of the pickups to help you find the sweet spot, inspiring your own unique voice that will evolve with your playing.
