Classic 1959 P Bass - Built to Sweetwater Spec!

Born in 1951, the P Bass revolutionized music, making the gig far easier on the bassist than lugging an acoustic upright. In 1959 Fender achieved what many bassists would call "P Bass perfection." We asked our friends at the Fender Custom Shop to craft us our ultimate version of the 1959 Precision Bass, built to our exact specifications. The 1959 Precision Bass Special Relic starts off with a spot-on replication of the '59 P Bass body, the classic split-coil pickup, and maple neck. But the fingerboard is rockin' a faster 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets, making the 1959 Precision Bass Special Relic a super-comfortable bass to play. Period-appropriate hardware, vintage-style reverse tuning machines, and a gorgeous nitrocellulose finish round out the features on the Sweetwater-exclusive 1959 Precision Bass Special Relic.
