A Sixties Classic, Revisited in the Vintera II Series
The Vintera II Road Worn ?60s Precision Bass captures the spirit of Fender models played and loved since the 1960s. It sits at the heart of the Vintera II range, designed to reproduce historical specifications while offering modern reliability. The nitro ?Road Worn? finish recreates the natural wear of a well-played instrument and promotes an immediate feel under the fingers.
For Which Bassist and Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a 4-string bass with vintage character, it excels in rock, soul, Motown, blues, indie, and pop. Its simple setup and dynamic response also make it a reliable companion on stage and in the studio.
The Sound
The 60s-style split single-coil produces round lows, pronounced mids, and smooth highs, with reduced noise thanks to the split-coil configuration. The alder body provides balance and projection, while the maple neck/rosewood fingerboard enhances articulation and sustain. The passive electronics (volume/tone) reveal a wide palette, from warm, mellow tones to more present attacks, always with that instantly recognizable Precision ?punch.?
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Choose 34" long scale strings with a gauge of .045?.105 ? for example Fender 7250M ? to maintain original tension and response. A hard case or a Precision/Jazz Bass gig bag will ensure perfect protection for the body and headstock. Complete your setup with a sturdy strap and a clip-on tuner for a stage-ready rig.
