THE FOUNDATION OF GREEN DAY

Fender and hard-hitting Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt bring you the Mike Dirnt Road Worn Precision Bass, a special version of his pulverising signature model with years of hard-played wear and onstage glory already built in. With its combination of original-era 1951 Precision styling and Dirnt's own personalised modifications, it's a ferocious performer with volcanic tone, fast feel and cool battle-hardened look and vibe.

FEATURES

• Original-era 1951 Precision styling with Road Worn treatment to simulate years of wear and tear
• Ash body with forearm contour
• Maple neck with thick "C" profile, classic '51 Telecaster® headstock shape
• Custom vintage-style '59 split single-coil pickup
• Fender High-Mass bridge
• Custom Mike Dirnt neck plate

ROAD WORN LACQUER FINISH

The lacquer finish on this bass lets the body wood breathe with more natural resonance. Its Road Worn finish and hardware treatment imparts a cool aged look and feel, conveying the impression that this instrument has more than just a few miles on it.

CUSTOM â59 SPLIT-COIL PICKUP

The volcanic sound of Mike Dirntâs signature Precision model comes from a custom vintage-style â59 split single-coil pickup that looks right at home among the instrumentâs other vintage-style features.

HI-MASS BRIDGE

The specially designed Hi-Mass bridge on this bass has a cool contemporary look. It also has a lot of metal, which means it has a lot of mass for rock-solid sustain, intonation and tuning stability.

TELECASTER HEADSTOCK

Like the very first Precision basses of 1951-1957, Mike Dirntâs signature model features a Telecaster headstock shape.

THICK MODERN NECK WITH "C" PROFILE

The thicker modern neck on the Mike Dirnt Road Worn Precision Bass adds slightly more mass to the instrument, enhancing the tone. It also has a comfortable "C" profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) and a worn urethane finish on the back.

STAMPED "STAR" NECK PLATE

In a special touch specified by Dirnt himself, the neck plate of his signature Precision model is engraved with a small star at the upper right corner.
