Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to offer up this Custom Shop Fender 60's Precision bass with a heavy relic treatment that makes it look old, but also feel like a familiar friend.
We'll start with my favorite part of this bass, which would be the neck. It's got to be one of the better feeling bass necks ever! The sanded down feel on the back is phenomenal and it'll only get better over time and with more use. Before even plugging this in to check the sound, I just sat there and held that neck for a while. It feels so darn good. But the fun is only just beginning there. Plugged in, this bass comes to life. The pickups are wonderfully vintage and the sound is the most perfect 60's P-bass tone we've come across.
The combination of the feel and tone of this instrument really makes this a force to be reckoned with. There's no genre of music you can't tackle with a P-bass and this one is just about as good as it gets when it comes to this tried and true, classic and yet timeless design.
Manufacturer's Description
There’s no denying the Precision Bass is the most iconic electric bass—its thunderous sound was the foundation of modern music, laying down the grooves in Motor City during the ‘60s. Recreating this memorable instrument, with a few twists for modern bassists, the 1960 Precision Bass Heavy Relic has the look, feel and authentic sound of an original model. The two-piece select alder body is lightweight and wears a Heavy Relic lacquer finish that grants it the look and feel of a bass that’s seen it all while wearing in a distinctive way. The smooth-playing, tinted quartersawn maple neck sports a “ ‘60s Oval C”-shaped profile and bears a modern 9.5”-radius fingerboard with 20 medium-jumbo frets for familiar playing feel. The Hand-Wound ’62 P Bass® pickup cranks out seismic Fender tone, while vintage-style P Bass wiring ensures you can shape it at will.
Other features include 4-ply Tortoiseshell pickguard, vintage-style P bass bridge with threaded steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and round string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
