Fender 60th Anniversary Precision Bass
Celebrate 60 years of the bass guitar that started it all. The Precision
was and still is the first word in electric bass; an instrument that
transformed popular music and created a new kind of musician–the
electric bassist.
When it was introduced in 1951, Fender’s
revolutionary Precision Bass guitar liberated musicians from the
unwieldy confines of the upright bass, quickly becoming the preferred
worldwide standard for tone, power and excellence. The Precision Bass
has been booming ever since–six decades later, it’s still liberating
musicians, still the worldwide standard and still the first word in
electric bass.
To further distinguish it as a special instrument
created for the occasion, the 60th Anniversary Precision Bass bears a
commemorative chrome neck plate honoring six decades of enduring Fender
legacy.
Since its birth in 1951, the Fender® Precision Bass
guitar has redefined popular music, and continues to in the hands of
contemporary artists worldwide. The 60th Anniversary Precision Bass
guitar embodies six decades of Fender bass legacy in a collectible
U.S.-made instrument.
