Wield new levels of low-end power with the Fender Custom Shop 1957 Precision Bass, an iconic instrument that captures the essence of late '50s rock 'n' roll with its classic Sunburst finish and anodized gold pickguard. Featuring a '59-'62 P-Bass pickup and a period-correct neck profile, this Fender is designed for musicians seeking a world-class bass with an old-school soul. Read on if you're looking for a vintage thump machine with a raw, rockin' sound!
The Custom Shop 1957 Precision Bass boasts a 2-piece alder body with a New Old Stock (NOS) finish package that gives it the look of an early-era Fender bass that's been sealed in a time-capsule. But it's not just a looker-it plays remarkably well, too, thanks to its comfortable '57 Soft "V"-shaped quarter-sawn maple neck. Additionally, its narrow-tall frets, vintage tuners, and micarta black dot inlays enhance its exceptional playability and timeless style.
Armed with a hand-wound '59-'62 split-coil pickup, the Fender Custom Shop 1957 Precision Bass delivers a full-bodied sound with powerful mids and deep, booming lows. Roll off the tone knob for a dark, warm, and velvety thump, or crank the volume and tone for a throaty growl with plenty of midrange punch-no matter how you set it, this bass sounds phenomenal.
Decked out with chrome/nickel hardware and a genuine bone nut, the Custom Shop 1957 Precision Bass is an essential addition for any musician seeking a premium Fender P-Bass with jaw-dropping sound and a classic aesthetic.
