Fender Vintera III Late '60s Precision Bass Rosewood Black

Overview

The Fender Vintera III Late ’60s Precision Bass in Black captures the look, feel, and tone of a classic late-’60s P Bass with thoughtful vintage-correct details. Built with an alder body and maple neck topped with a round-laminated 7.25" rosewood fingerboard, it delivers the punchy, warm, and woody character that defined an era.

A late ’60s “C”-shape neck profile and vintage tall frets provide a comfortable, traditional feel, while the vintage-style split-coil pickup produces the focused low end and articulate mids that have anchored countless recordings. From the threaded steel saddle bridge to the non-reverse “lollipop” tuners, every detail stays true to the period.
