Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
The '63 Precision Bass has become the benchmark vintage P-bass for virtually every builder on the planet. There is no better known standard for the classic mellow, rolled-off James Jamerson tone than the basses from this year. Fender's American Vintage series endeavors to pack all that vibe into a new instrument and succeeds with flying colors!
