1959 FenderPrecision Bass – Sunburst


This stunning 1959 Fender Precision Bass in Sunburst finish just came in! This beautiful bass has been extremely well kept over the years, with all original components and even some hints of the photo-sensitive red finish still intact around the three-toned Sunburst. This is a mid-year example, and as a result this particular example features a wonderfully rich slab fretboard of dark rosewood. This bass has a strong warm tone to it with a velvety thump, thanks to the original split pickup. The wide neck feels great in the hand, and the back of the neck finish has been worn down for a comfortable, smooth playing experience. This particular bass comes complete with its original brown hardshell case and even its original full page instruction manual.
