Traditional Precision Bass with high-quality woods
For the construction of the Fender 1962 Precision Bass NOS, the Fender Custom Shop relies on traditional woods of the highest quality, so that the instrument comes up with a lively response and a long sustain. The body is made of selected light alder, while the neck is made of sturdy quartersawn maple with standing annual rings. The strong "'60 Oval C" neck profile also promises comfortable playing characteristics on the 20-fret rosewood fingerboard.
Under the historically accurate cover, a Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound '62 P-Bass split-coil provides authentic vintage tones.
Split coil pickup for classic bass sounds
For the Fender 1962 Precision Bass NOS MN Sherwood Green Metallic pickup, the Fender Custom Shop luthiers chose a Hand-Wound '62 P-Bass split-coil pickup. Equipped with two pole-pieces per string, the dual-coil pickup delivers the classic Preci sound that responds lively to the playing style and delivers the classic grooves of blues, soul, funk and rock with rich punch in the bass. To customize the tone, there's also the traditional passive circuitry with master volume control and treble cutoff to dampen the high frequencies.
Fender vintage-style tuners provide accurate and stable tuning on the headstock of the Fender 1962 P-Bass NOS.
Historically Correct Hardware
