Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass®

Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass®

In 1951, Leo Fender invented the electric bass guitar and changed the course of popular music forever. The Precision Bass gave bass players a voice that could be heard, felt, and recorded — and 75 years later, that foundational thump and clarity still drives virtually every genre of music on the planet. The 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass is a breathtakingly accurate recreation of that original instrument, built with period-correct details from headstock to strap button and packed with commemorative case candy that makes this one of the most complete and meaningful collector’s instruments Fender has ever produced.
