The Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass captures a moment in time when the P-Bass had fully evolved into the instrument we know and love today. Fender nailed every vintage-correct detail here—from the curved body contours and Strat-style headstock to the Pure Vintage ’60 Split-Coil pickup that delivers that unmistakable, punchy tone heard on countless classic recordings.
This one feels every bit like a well-preserved original. The smooth rosewood fingerboard, slim “C”-shaped maple neck, and gloss nitro finish come together to give it an incredibly authentic feel and sound. Plug it in, and you’ll instantly understand why the early-’60s Precision became the bass standard. Whether you’re chasing Motown thump, British Invasion grit, or just that warm, articulate Fender tone, this AVII ’60 P-Bass delivers it effortlessly.
