Vintage tonal precision
This is a bass for the ages. So, naturally, it requires a tone with enough power, punch, and booming vintage flair to flourish for a lifetime of performances. That's why Fender have equipped the '59 Precision bass with a Custom Shop '59-'62 P-Bass pickup. As with all P-basses - it's a split single-coil. So you can count on your thunderous bass riffs to drive through the mix with elite clarity. The alnico V magnets offer a strong, beefy low-end, tight midrange, and bright, clear highs for an exceptionally well-balanced sound reminiscent of the very first Precision bass. Every detail is captured. And it showcases unparalleled quality in any genre.
Enhnace your playing potential

And it's got a nitro lacquer finish for exceptional feel and fluid manoeuvrability. You'll feel totally at home playing it.
