Musical history buffs and musicians alike can’t stop talking about the American Vintage II Series around our campus. Take the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass, for instance. On its period-accurate body, you’ll find many of the heralded achievements forged in the late ’50s and early ’60s over at Fender. Instead of the earlier Telecaster-like appointments found on earlier P Basses, you’ll find a Strat-like headstock, more comfortably curved body contours, and a modern-made Pure Vintage ’60 Split-Coil P Bass pickup. The alder body, hard-rock maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard polish this vintage time-machine off with the right concoction to supply serious ’60s-inspired bass tones.Just a cursory glance at the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass and you might mistake it for the real thing. Fender made certain to outfit this bass with hardware like a 4-saddle bridge, pickguard-mounted electronics, and the classic "C"-shaped neck with 7.25-inch fingerboard radius. While these details deliver the familiar look, the comfortably contoured alder body and Pure Vintage ’60 Split-Coil P-Bass pickup serve up the quintessential tone this classic hit-machine is known for.
