Tradition-conscious construction
The American Vintage II '54 Precision BassFender naturally uses the historically authenticated tonewoods and manufacturing methods of 1954 to get as close as possible to the sound and feel of a vintage original.

The bolt-on, one-piece maple neck with its remarkable "'54 C" profile sits snugly but comfortably in the hand, and with its 43.2 mm nut width, it offers ample room for the clean implementation of classic bass techniques.

The volume and tone controls housed on the historically correct chrome-plated sheet metal control plate also allow precise adjustment of the sound character.
