Description
What makes this bass special: The year 1963 marks an important moment in Precision Bass history, because that's when a comfortable new round-laminated rosewood fingerboard first appeared on the bass that started it all. That's here on the new American Vintage '63 Precision Bass, which evokes that year's model with other authentic features including a slightly wider C-shaped maple neck, clay-colored dot fingerboard inlays, three-ply mint green pickguard, new American Vintage '63 split single-coil pickup, lower-mounted finger rest, vintage-style bridge with threaded steel "barrel" saddles, flat-top knurled chrome control knobs, reverse tuners, chrome pickup and bridge covers, auxiliary strap button on the back of the headstock, and more.
Cosmetic Condition: There are some minor nicks & dings along with surface scratches & weather checking throughout the body. But for the most part it looks really clean.
Neck: C-shape maple neck with 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard & clay dot inlays. 20 vintage-style frets are in great shape with no wear. American Vintage reverse open-gear tuners are in perfect working condition. 1.74" width bone nut; 34" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Contoured, solid alder body finished in Faded Sonic Blue. Fender Flash Coat Lacquer on the body & neck. American Vintage bridge with threaded steel "barrel" saddles. 3-ply mint green pickguard with nickel/chrome hardware. Bass weighs 8 lbs 11.9 oz.
Electronics: Vintage split single coil P-Bass pickup. Master volume & tone controls with knurled flat-top knobs. All electronics are in perfect working condition.
