The Fender American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass MN 2 Color Sunburst stands out as an authentic recreation of a 1954 P Bass, impressing with historically accurate details, a vintage feel and true period sound. Built with an ash body shaped for comfort in the style of the Stratocaster introduced the same year, the four string instrument features a bolt on maple neck with a substantial 1954 C profile that feels full yet comfortable in the hand. A Pure Vintage 54 Precision Bass single coil pickup with classic passive electronics delivers powerful vintage tones with the signature low end thump. Fender completes the American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass with historically correct hardware including a two saddle bridge and Pure Vintage Reverse tuners.

Staying true to the materials and methods of 1954, the American Vintage II 54 Precision Bass uses carefully selected tonewoods and vintage build techniques to capture the sound and character of the original. The ash body sits beneath a thin nitrocellulose finish and follows the soft contour body style that first appeared on the Stratocaster. The one piece maple neck, attached with Fender’s traditional bolt on design, features the robust 54 C profile and a 43.2 millimeter nut width, offering plenty of room for clean articulation of classic bass lines.

To reproduce the tone of a genuine 1954 P Bass, the American Vintage II Precision Bass carries a Pure Vintage 54 single coil pickup in the middle position. Wound to precise period specifications and paired with factory installed flatwound strings, this pickup provides a strikingly punchy sound with natural compression that supports expressive bass playing. Volume and tone knobs on a chrome plated control plate allow detailed shaping of the instrument’s sonic character.

Every detail of the American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass reflects Fender’s dedication to authenticity. The Pure Vintage two saddle bridge with double pressed fiber saddles ensures precise adjustment of intonation and string action, while the string through body design contributes to the resonant vintage tone. Behind the bone nut, Pure Vintage Reverse open gear tuners hold tuning securely and complete the classic look.
