Description

Edit description

Step into the world of classic tone and modern precision with the Fender AM Original 60 P-Bass LPB. This electric bass guitar bridges the gap between vintage aesthetics and contemporary playability, making it a versatile choice for both seasoned professionals and aspiring musicians. The Fender AM Original 60 P-Bass LPB is celebrated for its authentic '60s-era sound profile, capturing the essence of a time when rock and roll revolutionized the music scene.

Crafted with an alder body, this bass delivers a balanced and resonant tone, perfect for any genre. The neck features a '60s "C" shape, providing comfort and ease for fast-paced playing. With a rosewood fingerboard hosting 20 vintage-tall frets, players can expect smooth navigation across its range. Outfitted with a Pure Vintage '63 P-Bass split-coil pickup, this instrument ensures a punchy and articulate sound that cuts through any mix.

The hardware includes a 4-saddle vintage-style bridge and vintage-style reverse open-gear tuning machines, ensuring tuning stability and classic style. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only enhances the visual appeal but also allows the wood to breathe and age gracefully over time, adding to the instrument's character.

'60s "C" shaped maple neck
Rosewood fingerboard with 20 vintage-tall frets
Pure Vintage '63 P-Bass split-coil pickup
