Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Precision Bass®, the world’s first electric bass, represents one of the most important developments in music history. For the first time, bass players had access to a portable, precisely intonated, amplified instrument. As stated by the legendary Quincy Jones, the Fender bass was “…the one technological breakthrough that changed music forever.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it initially shared many design cues with the Telecaster®, such as an oversized Tele® headstock, slab body and chrome control plate, by 1954, the P-Bass® had been updated with the same sweeping curves and contoured edges of the newly launched Stratocaster®. The American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original and is offered in two colors over ash: Vintage Blonde and 2-Color Sunburst mated to a single-ply white pickguard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther key features include a substantial ‘54 “C”-shape maple neck with a 7.25” radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. The Pure Vintage 2-saddle bridge with fiber saddles, reverse open-gear tuners, finger rest and '54 Single-Coil Precision Bass® pickup deliver classic Fender thump and style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsh Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage '54 Single-Coil Precision® Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“C”-Shaped Neck Profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage 2-Saddle Precision Bass® with Fiber Saddles, Serialized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage Reverse Open-Gear Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Precision Bass®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: 1-Piece Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: 4-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 1954 \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 34\" (86.36 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Size: Vintage Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.70\" (43.2 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Dots: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Nut: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle Pickup: Pure Vintage '54 Single-Coil Precision®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitching: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfiguration: S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Pure Vintage 2-Saddle Precision Bass® with Fiber Saddles, Serialized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Pure Vintage Reverse Open-Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 1-Ply Parchment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Knurled Dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: 4-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Fender® USA 9050L Stainless Steel Flatwound (.045-.100 Gauges), PN 0739050403\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegal Notice \u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cancer and Reproductive Harm - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.p65warnings.ca.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ewww.P65Warnings.ca.gov\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase\/Gig Bag: Vintage-Style Tweed (Crushed Red Interior)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43400902181101,"sku":"0190152803","price":3729.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/8118\/5613\/products\/a6d9a4b941b8d11976362e89c1d524ba.jpg?v=1691698534","url":"https:\/\/musiccitycanada.com\/products\/fender-american-vintage-ii-54-precision-bass-maple-neck-2-tone-sunburst","provider":"Music City Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
