The Fender American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass MN Vintage Blonde impresses as an authentic replica of a 1954 P-Bass not only with historically accurate details, but also with an authentic feel and sound. In addition to the ash body with comfort shapings inspired by the Strat introduced the same year, the four-string features a bolt-on maple neck with a beefy "1954 C" profile that feels rich but comfortable in the hand. A classic Pure Vintage '54 Precision Bass single coil pickup with passive electrics also promises first-class vintage tones with the typical hammering in the low frequencies. Naturally Fender completes the American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass with a historically correct hardware setup in the form of a 2-saddle bridge and classic Pure Vintage Reverse tuners.

The American Vintage II '54 Precision Bass Fender naturally uses the historically authenticated tonewoods and manufacturing methods of 1954 to get as close as possible to the sound and feel of a vintage original. Beneath the gauzy nitrocellulose finish is an ash body whose comfortable shape was unmistakably inspired by the "contour body" of the Strat, also introduced in 1954. The bolt-on, one-piece maple neck with its remarkable "'54 C" profile sits snugly but comfortably in the hand, and with its 43.2 mm nut width, it offers ample room for the clean implementation of classic bass techniques.

A replica of a '54 P-Bass, the American Vintage II Precision Bass naturally comes with a Pure Vintage '54 single coil in the middle position of the body. Accurately wound to historical specifications, the single coil, in conjunction with the factory-wound flatwound strings, elicits an authentic Vintage-Sound with surprisingly high punch and a natural compression that subtly supports Bass playing. The volume and tone controls housed on the historically correct chrome-plated sheet metal control plate also allow precise adjustment of the sound character.

Of course, Fender completes the American Vintage II 1964 Precision Bass MN Vintage Blonde with historically correct attachments that contribute significantly to the look and tonal character of the E-Bass. On the body, the strings are held by an authentic Pure Vintage 2-saddle bridge, whose double pressed-fiber tailpieces not only guarantee a clean adjustment of intonation and string action, but together with the string-through-body string guide also contribute significantly to the first-class Vintage-Sound. Behind the bone nut, precise and tuning-stable Pure Vintage Reverse Open-Gear tuners also keep the '54 Precision Bass from the American Vintage II series securely in the correct tuning.
