Squier’s Vintage Edition series celebrates four decades of history with some gorgeous examples of Fender’s classic guitars and basses. From the gold anodized aluminum pickguard to the aged chrome hardware, this 40th Anniversary Precision Bass is studded with striking style. It also boasts a classic Fender maple neck and fingerboard combo to add to this axe's utterly timeless look. A pair of Fender-designed alnico single-coils gives this bass a classic Precision punch, with fat lows, in-your-face mids, and clear highs.

Legendary fat, punchy tone

There's nothing like the fat, punchy sound of a P Bass split single-coil pickup it sits in a track like nobody's business. To say the P Bass is an industry standard is not an exaggeration in the '60s and '70s, electric bass parts on session charts used to simply be labeled "Fender" and that meant Precision. Motown even standardize the Precision Bass for all their recording sessions. From James Jamerson to Pino Palladino, bassists from all genres have embraced the Precision Bass, and it continues to be a favorite in the studio and on stages everywhere.

Shaped for comfort and performance

One of the things that made the P Bass an instant hit with working bass players was its comfortable contoured body shape. Perfectly balanced whether playing standing or seated, the Squier 40th Anniversary Vintage Edition Precision Bass will make those marathon playing sessions much more comfortable. Its "C" profile neck satisfyingly fills out your hand and always feels just right another reason why the Precision is the choice of bassists the world over.

Timeless P Bass design

Leo Fender brought us the Precision Bass back in the 1950s, and its classic body shape and comfortable neck continue to give today's Squier 40th Anniversary Vintage Edition Precision Bass excellent playability and a distinctive look. As with so many of his original designs, Leo nailed the essence of a great instrument right from the start. Over a half century later, the Squier 40th Anniversary Vintage Edition Precision Bass still sets the affordable standard in electric bass guitars.
