This 1963 Fender Precision Bass is a remarkably clean and original example from one of the most desirable periods of pre-CBS production. It retains the classic combination of an alder body, maple neck, and Brazilian rosewood fingerboard that helped establish the Precision Bass as a cornerstone of recorded music throughout the 1960s. Its original split-coil pickup delivers the focused low end, strong midrange presence, and clear attack that made the model a favorite in countless sessions and performances of the era.What sets this particular instrument apart is its exceptional state of preservation. Finding a 1963 Precision Bass with this level of originality and so little wear has become increasingly uncommon, especially as many examples from the period saw decades of regular use and modification. More than sixty years after it left Fullerton, this bass remains a compelling snapshot of one of Fender’s most important designs at a pivotal moment in the company's history.Includes OHSC (Featuring the original strap, cleaning cloth, hang tag).
