The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Precision Bass Closet Classic gives you the epic low-end dominance the P-Bass is known for, with a distinctive "Closet Classic" wear treatment that makes you feel like you just discovered a forgotten treasure. All the standard Precision Bass features are here in the 1962 Precision Bass Closet Classic: a hand-selected premium ash body, and an ultra-rigid quartersawn maple neck with a 1960 "U" shape topped with a bound rosewood fretboard. The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Precision Bass Closet Classic oozes classic tone and looks.



Fender Custom Shop 1962 Precision Bass Closet Classic at a Glance:
  • Packs the essence of classic bass tones
  • Powerful pickup position
  • Closet Classic look with a wonderfully timeless feel

Packs the essence of classic bass tones
If you've ever listened to recorded music, you've probably heard the Fender P-Bass before. It is the bass sound. That bass tone. At Sweetwater, we're not even sure where music would be these days if it wasn't for the P-Bass! The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Precision Bass Closet Classic packs the powerful punch that made the original P-Bass the standard for big fat bass guitar tone.

Powerful pickup position
The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Precision Bass Closet Classic sports a J-Bass pickup in the 1970's position. Why a J-Bass pickup? The J-Bass pickup has a livelier, more fullrange response than the P-Bass pickup. It can sound round and full, or you can make it snap and pop when the funk strikes you.

Closet Classic look with a wonderfully timeless feel
Fender's Custom Shop 1962 Precision Bass Closet Classic looks like it was discovered hidden in a closet, but that's just for a sweet unique look. The Closet Classic P-Bass is made with the impeccable attention to detail Fender's Custom Shop is known for, right down to the best materials like the quartersawn maple neck and the hand-selected alder body.

Fender Custom Shop 1962 Precision Bass Closet Classic Features:
  • Iconic tone and feel of the classic P-Bass with the versatility of a J-Bass pickup
  • Color: 3-Tone Burst
  • Closet Classic finish makes you feel like you're playing an original treasure from the 1960s
  • Maple neck is quartersawn for maximum rigidity - more stability, and fatter tone!
  • J-Bass pickup in the 1970s position for flexible tone you can shape for any musical style
  • Hardshell case included
