As the first production model bass guitar, the Fender Precision bass was an absolutely revolutionary instrument upon its introduction in 1951. In the early '80s, Fender began reissuing many of its classic models, including the Precision Bass of 1962. This bass stayed in production until the American Vintage Reissue series was reorganized in 2012.
