Description
The Fender James Jamerson 1962 Precision Bass Rosewood in 3-Tone Sunburst is built for players who want that unmistakable Motown foundation under their hands. If you are chasing warm, supportive low end that sits perfectly in a mix, this one is about as direct a path as you can take. It is an era-correct tribute to the bass that powered countless classic recordings, and it stays true to the feel and response of an early 60s Precision.
The alder body is finished in Heirloom Nitrocellulose Lacquer, giving it a vintage look and a finish that will age naturally over time. The maple neck carries a James Jamerson 60s C profile and is topped with a slab rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25 inch radius and 20 vintage tall frets. It feels round and substantial in the hand, just like you would expect from a true early 60s P Bass. The custom James Jamerson 62 split single coil Precision Bass pickup delivers that thick, focused midrange punch with smooth highs and a deep, supportive low end. Master volume and master tone controls keep things simple and musical.
Pure Vintage reverse open-gear tuners and a Pure Vintage 4-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles anchor the hardware, while La Bella flatwound strings in .052 to .110 gauges complete the experience right out of the case. The included vintage-style brown case with orange interior adds to the presentation and protection. We like this one because it is not just a visual nod to history, it actually feels and responds the way a great early 60s Precision should. If you want that classic studio-ready thump and articulation, this bass delivers it in a very authentic way.
