The Fender American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original, with an ash body, vintage-inspired finishes and a single-ply white pickguard. Although it initially shared many design cues with the Telecaster, such as an oversized Tele headstock, slab body and chrome control plate, by 1954, the P-Bass had been updated with the same sweeping curves and contoured edges of the then-newly launched Stratocaster. Other key features to the American Vintage II 1954 P-Bass include a substantial ’54 C-shaped maple neck with a 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. The Pure Vintage 2-saddle bridge with fiber saddles, reverse open-gear tuners, finger rest and '54 single-coil Precision Bass pickup deliver classic Fender thump and style. Comes with a vintage-style tweed case with a crushed red interior.
The Fender American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
