Fender invented the Electric Bass in 1951 in response to requests from musicians for a louder, easier-to-handle bass. This new instrument was named the Precision Bass. Unlike its predecessor the acoustic stand-up bass, the P-Bass had frets, which allowed bassists to play with "precision." Needless to say, a "new playing sensation" was born and the sound of popular music changed forever. The American Vintage '57 and '62 Precision Basses pay tribute to the originals with accurate detailing from their respective vintages.

In the half-century since its introduction in 1951, the Precision Bass guitar has dramatically influenced the way we play and hear music and has affected almost every musical genre. Our American Vintage 57 Precision Bass pays tribute to this landmark instrument with accurate details-including the electronics and hardware-and features including an alder or ash body, split single-coil pickups with raised pole pieces for the A string, vintage tuning machines and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
