Squier 40th Anniversary Precision Bass Gold Edition Laurel Fingerboard Black No Case

For the past 40 years, Squier by Fender has been creating instruments played by hundreds of thousands of guitarists and bassists from beginners to pros. To celebrate that anniversary, the Squier/Fender design team has put together some spectacular instruments. The Squier 40th Anniversary Gold Series Precision Bass brings together upscale looks, player-friendly features and all the classic P Bass thump you could possibly want.

Vintage Curves in a New Wood

While traditional P Basses have been poplar, alder or ash body guitars, the Squier 40th Anniversary Gold Series Precision Bass uses nato, a wood frequently referred to as Eastern mahogany. Nato has the warmth often associated with mahogany, but it adds a crispness that brings just enough high-end edge for the bass to cut through. Nato has the benefit of being a more sustainable wood as well, making it a real win-win situation. All the 40th Anniversary Gold Series feature a beautiful and durable gloss finish in several striking colors.

Fast and Comfortable Neck

With a 34"-scale, C-profile maple neck and bound 9.5"-radius Indian laurel fingerboard, you'll find the neck smooth, fast and easy to play. Adding in premium pearloid block inlays and a bone nut makes the traditional 20-fret configuration look as great as it plays, making the Gold Series P Bass a celebration of the combined history of both the Precision and Squier.

Alnico 5 Pickups for Classic Tone

When it comes to pickups, the heart of any electric bass, the Squier 40th Anniversary Gold Series Precision Bass stays classic, with a noise-reducing Fender-designed Alnico 5 split single-coil pickup for delightfully deep tone. Whether you take your rock heavy, your blues down-home, or put pop on the front burner, the Gold Series P-Bass can lay down the low end you love.

A Bass You'll Play for Years

The hardware of the Gold Series Precision is its defining trait. Gold-plated and gleaming from headstock to strap button, with a gold-anodized pickguard and engraved 40th Anniversary neck plate, it catches and holds the eye, and you'll look as good playing it as you sound. Add this one to your collection, and you'll understand why so many players over the decades have kept a Squier in their collection—for the sheer fun of playing one.
