Fender Custom Shop 1966 Precision Bass Journeyman Relic Aged Natural
The "Sound Heard Around the World". The Fender Precision Bass is the true original. This Custom Shop creation speaks to bass players that want the classic feel & sound, recreated in a variety of styles, specs and colors. Here we introduce the 1966 Precision Bass in Aged Natural. Few instruments are as iconic as a 1960s rosewood fingerboard-equipped P-Bass -- and this bass stands out from the crowd.
Its two-piece select alder body wears a Journeyman Relic lacquer finish, while the quartersawn maple neck features a 1960 Oval “C” back-shape and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard for perfect mid-‘60s looks and feel. This neck is super comfortable - while you get a vintage feel, it's not too thick, and very "fast playing". The finish on the back is worn slightly, to get a bit of that broken in feel that players love.
The Custom Shop hand-wound ‘65/’70 P-Bass pickup and vintage wiring provide all the thump and warmth you would expect from a 1966 Precision Bass. For those that want vintage sounding basses, this tone is hard to beat.
Other features include medium jumbo frets, a 4-ply tortoise shell pickguard, vintage-style 4-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and a disc string tree. The bass comes with a deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
This '66 Precision Bass features a warm sound with a pronounced midrange, providing a pronounced sonic presence alongside simple playability. Thump, growl and power - it's everything you want. Come to Truetone Music to experience it yourself, or have it shipped straight to your home from here.
