Fender '62 Reissue Precision Bass - USA 2000

The Fender Precision Bass, introduced in 1951, stands as a pioneering force in the evolution of electric bass guitars. Crafted by Leo Fender, its groundbreaking design featured a solid body, fretted neck, and a split single-coil pickup, revolutionising the bassist's experience. This innovative instrument provided a more practical alternative to the upright bass, gaining rapid popularity for its versatility and distinctive tonal qualities.

Over the decades, the Precision Bass underwent refinements, including a contoured body for enhanced comfort and various pickup configurations. The launch of the Fender P-Bass reissues solidified its status as a timeless classic, as musicians across genres continue to favour its iconic design, reliable performance, and profound impact on the sonic landscape of modern music.

Here we have a nice 2000 Fender '62 Reissue Precision Bass, showcasing a sleek sunburst finish complemented by a rosewood fingerboard. Boasting a vintage radius and body contour, this bass seamlessly combines a modern feel with classic aesthetics, delivering the iconic Precision bass tone that musicians covet.

This instrument is in great condition, displaying some signs of wear but nothing to fuss over. There is the odd bump on the sides but the top, back and neck are remarkably clean. There is a small amount of rust on some of the pickguard screws and around the input jack. The E-string has a small nut around it at the bridge to prevent the string from pulling through. We've conducted a thorough health check, examining elements such as the truss rod, electronics, and more. Rest assured, everything functions flawlessly as intended. There is a rainbow sticker on the pickguard, between the pickups and neck that can be easily removed if required.

Comes in its original Fender hard case.
