Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass Maple Butterscotch Blonde

The 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass celebrates the instrument that launched the electric bass into popular music. Built with a resonant ash body and finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, this limited-edition model stays true to the original 1951 design while delivering the feel and response modern players expect.

A one-piece maple neck with a substantial 1951 “U” profile and 7.25" radius fingerboard provides an authentic early-’50s playing experience. The 75th Anniversary ’51 Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup captures the foundational thump and clarity that defined decades of recorded music, paired with a vintage-accurate serialized 2-saddle bridge and reverse open-gear tuners.
