The Original 1951 Precision Bass Reborn Of all Leo Fender’s myriad inventions, the Precision Bass has arguably made the greatest musical impact. It’s an instrument that’s fundamentally reinvented how the bass should be played to this very day, and just about every solidbody electric bass to come after owes a debt to the model’s trailblazing design. The Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass offers you a spot-on re-creation of the model as it would have left the Fullerton assembly line in the early 1950s, right down to the nitro lacquer coat. This bass’s core is built upon an uncontoured slab of ash, loaded with a single Telecaster-style pickup that delivers a raw, focused, and defined single-coil thump.

You also get an era-accurate collection of hardware, including a 2-barrel bridge with old-school fiber saddles, vintage-spec reverse-gear tuners, and a single-ply black phenolic pickguard. Add the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass to your low-end arsenal and discover why the ’51 forever changed musical history.Chunky 1951 U-shaped neck Players who favor a full-bodied grip from their 4-string will love the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass’s 1951 U-shaped neck profile. This substantial shape is crafted from a single piece of premium maple and planed with a vintage-correct 7.25-inch fingerboard radius. Top it all off with a set of vintage-sized small frets, and the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass grants you the speedy playability and precise feel of the P Bass as Leo Fender originally envisioned it in the early 1950s.The Telecaster’s 4-string sibling The Precision Bass began life alongside the Telecaster, so it's no surprise that the two models share plenty of design elements. Most notably, the first Precision Basses were crafted with solid slab ash bodies — the comfortable contours of the modern P Bass were slowly introduced throughout the 1950s, culminating in the model’s now-standard 1957 revision. Moreover, the original Precision Bass featured Telecaster-style barrel saddles, with this 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass featuring the original fiber saddles of the first ’51s for a heightened dose of vintage vibe. It’s all finished off with a Tele-adjacent “Blackguard” single-ply phenolic pickguard and retro metal control plate.Loaded with single-coil growl Long before the invention of Leo Fender’s now-iconic split-coil pickup, the Precision Bass began life with a simple, Telecaster-style single-coil. Every P Bass from 1951 to 1957 featured this straightforward setup, which packs a brighter, grittier, and more focused thump compared to the later split-coil's warm punch. It’s a distinctive alternative to the more popular split-coil setup that’s won the hearts of countless bassists in the past 75 years — both Dusty Hill of ZZ Top and Sting built their signature tones upon the growl of an early-era single-coil P Bass. The Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass replicates that historic sound with era-accurate authenticity, boasting a 75th Anniversary Pure Vintage ’51 pickup crafted with cloth-covered wire, alnico magnets, and fiber bobbins.Coming from a standard split-coil P Bass background, I found that the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass offers a seriously distinct sound all its own. It’s hard to overstate just how “Telecaster” this bass feels (and that’s a very good thing!), and its biting single-coil pickup provides an appealing alternative to the warmer, more restrained sound of a post-’57 model. - Cameron Day, Product Research TeamFender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass Features: Honoring 75 years of P Bass history with an authentic reissue of Leo Fender’s first solidbody bass Simple and uncontoured slab ash body captures the rustic feel of the original P Bass 1951 U-shaped maple neck provides significant sustain and a full-bodied grip 7.25-in. fingerboard radius and vintage frets grant you the sleek and speedy feel of a golden-age Fender 75th Anniversary Pure Vintage ’51 Precision Bass pickup utilizes era-accurate components to replicate the gritty growl of an original early 1950s model Vintage-correct hardware includes a Pure Vintage 2-saddle bridge with fiber saddles and reverse open-gear tuners 1951-accurate appointments include a single-ply black phenolic pickguard and a pickguard thumbrest Nitro lacquer finish will age and break in the more you play Includes optional bridge and pickup covers for players who crave a more authentic vintage appearance RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
