With the Vintage Custom '57 Precision Bass MN Wide-Fade 2-Color Sunburst, the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, California has succeeded in creating a successful reissue of the legendary bass guitar with split-coil pickup and Quarter Sawn Maple neck. Equipped with high-quality and resilient Fender Custom Shop hardware, the '57 Precision Bass presents itself as an authentic replica, completed by the anodized aluminium pickguard, pickup and bridge chrome covers, typical 2-Color Sunburst and above all the comfortable Fender playing conditions. As the most important vintage of the Fender woofer, the 1957 P-Bass thus delivers the authentic Vintage Fender feeling with Custom Shop Appointments, including bass case and certificate of authenticity.
Construction and CompositionNot much has changed about the Fender Precision Bass as it is known today since the 1957 vintage, and thus the Vintage Custom '57 Precision Bass MN Wide-Fade 2-Color Sunburst with 34" long scale and bolt-on construction of Quarter Sawn Maple neck and alder body offers a distinctive playing feel. A particular highlight is the accurate neck, which sits low in the hand in a 1957 Soft 'V' profile and shines in a nitrocellulose finish with 20 Jescar Medium Vintage frets and a 7.25" fingerboard radius.
Handwound Split-Coil PickupThe 1957 P-Bass vintage not only marked the beginning of the Great Headstock but also the first introduction of the mid-position split-coil humbucker, which is one of Precision's key features. The hand-wound '57 Custom Shop split coil here delivers warm Vintage sounds with plenty of punch and rich lows, which can be adjusted with a Volume and Tone control.
The Vintage Custom '57 Precision Bass MN Wide-Fade 2-Colour Sunburst is rounded out by its Hardware features, which include two chrome covers and a tug bar. Under the "hood" is a Fender Vintage Bass bridge with 4-string riders which in cooperation with Fender Vintage tuners ensures accurate tonal stability of the four strings. The '57 Custom Precision Bass is protected by a historically correct tweed case with red velvet padding which provides the ultimate vintage feeling even when transporting the Basses.
