Just like the original Precision Basses, the Fender Classic Series '50s Precision Bass Lacquer sports vintage appointments and an authentic gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish on the body and neck. This bass will age and wear just like its vintage counterparts. Add this to the comfortable alder body, maple neck with maple fretboard, and a vintage-style single-coil alnico pickup, and you're ready to lay down the low end at any gig.

Classic Precision Bass design

Leo Fender brought us the Precision Bass back in the 1950s, and its classic body shape and comfortable neck continue to give today's Classic Series version excellent playability and a distinctive look. Players from all genres have embraced the P Bass, and it continues to be a favorite in the studio and on stages everywhere. As with so many of Fender's original designs, the man got the essence of a great instrument right the first time. And over a half-century later, the Fender Classic Series '50s Precision Bass Lacquer stands as a sterling example.

Original neck shape with maple fretboard offers authentic feel

The Fender Classic Series '50s Precision Bass Lacquer sports a C-shaped maple neck with a maple fretboard. The 7.25" fretboard radius and vintage-style frets gives you an old-school vibe and classic feel. Whether you're laying down a solid groove or slapping and popping, the Fender Classic Series '50s Precision Bass Lacquer is ready for action.
