Fender James Jamerson 1962 Precision Bass Rosewood 3-Tone Sunburst w/case

The Fender James Jamerson 1962 Precision Bass is a tribute to the instrument that anchored the Motown sound and reshaped electric bass playing. Built as an era-correct recreation of Jamerson’s beloved ’62 P Bass, this model captures the tone, feel, and visual character of the original that powered countless hit records .

Finished in Heirloom™ Nitrocellulose Lacquer 3-Tone Sunburst, this bass features a maple neck carved to a James Jamerson ’60s “C” profile and a slab rosewood fingerboard with vintage-correct 7.25" radius. The custom James Jamerson ’62 split single-coil pickup delivers the warm, focused thump and articulate midrange that defined his legendary groove work. Strung with La Bella flatwounds, it stays true to the formula that helped build the foundation of modern bass playing.
