Fender 57 PBass Maple

FENDER 0190115 Details

Fender invented the electric bass in 1951 in response to requests from musicians for a louder, easier-to-handle bass. This new instrument was named the Precision Bass. Unlike its predecessor - the acoustic stand-up bass - the P-Bass® had frets, which allowed bassists to play with precision. Needless to say, a "new playing sensation" was born and the sound of popular music changed forever. The American Vintage '57 and '62 Precision Basses pay tribute to the originals with accurate detailing from their respective vintages. Both basses are finished with a nitro-cellulose lacquer.
