Up for sale, a 2022 Fender Traditional II 60s Precision Bass in near-mint condition and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” Precision Bass faithfully captures the look and tone of a genuine vintage example, not otherwise available to the USA market.
Lightweight at 8lbs 3oz, tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck and thick slab rosewood fretboard. The tone is broad and clear, with good top end sweetness and ample pillowy thump, particularly with the Tone knob rolled back. This Traditional II 60s Precision Bass has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and spot-on intonation.
