1957 Vintage Fender Precision Bass

When Fender restyles a bass, they often take it into a whole new direction. Such is the case with the ‘57 Fender Precision. The changes to this bass would reverberate through the years, solidifying the Fender Precision bass guitars’ place in the hearts and minds of bass players all over the world. After a few years of Telecaster inspired ‘51 style P-Bass, Fender changed the game.

1962 Vintage Fender Jazz Bass

If Fender wanted jazz players to convert to electric bass, they needed a bass that would register with them. But at first, the decision to develop the jazz bass was probably due more to marketing than anything else. Fender created a top of the line bass to fill out its product offerings. Little did they know the impact on the music industry the bass would have.
