The new Vintera II’s bring you more accurate and detailed vintage specifications, with the use of Rosewood fretboards on selected models, era specific pickups, and the addition of new guitars to the range.
The use of more traditional, vintage-style components in the Vintera II series makes them one of the most era specific guitars Fender have made. This puts the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s eras in your hands for you to wield a stylish, vintage sounding, and an authentic feeling electric guitar! The Vintera II series pays tribute to the innovatively designed instruments that defined decades of music.
‘60s Precision Bass
Fender’s ‘60s Precision Bass was the next innovative step for the bass players after the first introduction of the model in 1951. Staying true to the time, the Vintera II ‘60s Precision Bass features a Rosewood fretboard as opposed to the ‘50s version that utilised a Maple fretboard. The introduction of Rosewood fretboards to the Vintera II series provides an accurate representation of the original instruments, giving you a warmer, full-bodied tone. The early- ‘60s “C” shape neck presents that comfortable and familiar feel that is easy to play and fits perfectly in your hands. The vintage-tall frets give you plenty of room to be expressive, catering for a range of different playing styles.
Powering the heart of this bass guitar is the vintage-style ‘60s split coil pickups that deliver that classic Fender sound giving you thicker, warmer, and dynamically powerful tones that will rock the room, with plenty of bass in the mid and low ranges for some funky articulation. Fender have included vintage-style tuners and a vintage-style 4-saddle bridge that not only provides an iconic look but also gives enhanced intonation and tuning stability to give you a reliable and stylish bass guitar. The Fender Vintera II series Precision Bass is an iconic and revolutionary historical instrument that provides support for any style of playing with a versatile capability that has no bounds.
