The Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. 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.

The late '50s to the early '60s was a watershed period in the development of the Precision Bass®, a time of transition that would see the introduction of many new appointments that would become synonymous with the P-Bass®. By 1960, the design of the P-bass had eclipsed the earlier cues culled from the Telecaster® - now the P-bass had a Strat®-style headstock shape, comfort-contours, pickguard mounted electronics and 4-saddle bridge. Adorned in 3-Color Sunburst and topped with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, the 1960 Precision Bass represented a more refined, enduring aesthetic for the model.

 

Featuring a premium alder body, Pure Vintage '60 Split-Coil P-Bass pickup and a substantial "C" shape hard rock maple neck mated with a 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original.

The 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.

Had a crush on these when they came out... Why are you selling if you don't mind me asking?

I'm torn between a love of P-basses and 32" scale basses and the 32s won out. It was a bit of an impulse buy but if nothing else it helped me realise that 32"scale is my preference (all my others are 32: a Serek, Elrick and Mensinger). The Elrick has a Bart p-pup in the neck so it covers the p-bass sound too.

Sure, it's a Gold series evolution 4, 32" scale, Bart split P and dual coil pups, walnut top. Very light and comfortable and a superb neck. 

I'll try and take a photo later.

This is a ridiculously low price for what are the nearest thing to owning an early 60s P you can get short of the real thing.
