Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Precision Bass, the world's first electric bass, represents one of the most important developments in music history. For the first time, bass players had access to a portable, precisely intonated, amplified instrument. As stated by the legendary Quincy Jones, the Fender bass was \"�the one technological breakthrough that changed music forever.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough it initially shared many design cues with the Telecaster, such as an oversized Tele headstock, slab body and chrome control plate, by 1954, the P-Bass had been updated with the same sweeping curves and contoured edges of the newly launched Stratocaster. The American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original and is offered in two colors over ash: Vintage Blonde and 2-Color Sunburst mated to a single-ply white pickguard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther key features include a substantial '54 \"C\"-shape maple neck with a 7.25\" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. The Pure Vintage 2-saddle bridge with fiber saddles, reverse open-gear tuners, finger rest and '54 Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup deliver classic Fender thump and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSKU:0190152807\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Finish\u003c\/b\u003e: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/b\u003e: Precision Bass®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Mounting\u003c\/b\u003e: 3-Screw Vintage-Style Hard-Tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge\u003c\/b\u003e: Pure Vintage 2-Saddle Precision Bass® with Fiber Saddles, Serialized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColor\u003c\/b\u003e: Vintage Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/b\u003e: S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs\u003c\/b\u003e: Knurled Dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eControls\u003c\/b\u003e: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHardware Finish\u003c\/b\u003e: Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMiddle Pickup\u003c\/b\u003e: Pure Vintage '54 Single-Coil Precision®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePickguard\u003c\/b\u003e: 1-Ply Parchment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStyle\u003c\/b\u003e: 1 Single-Coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSwitching\u003c\/b\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius\u003c\/b\u003e: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFret Size\u003c\/b\u003e: Vintage Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish\u003c\/b\u003e: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Material\u003c\/b\u003e: 1-Piece Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate\u003c\/b\u003e: 4-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Shape\u003c\/b\u003e: 1954 \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Frets\u003c\/b\u003e: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Width\u003c\/b\u003e: 1.70\" (43.2 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOrientation\u003c\/b\u003e: Right-Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePosition Inlays\u003c\/b\u003e: Black Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Nut\u003c\/b\u003e: Vintage-Style Heel Adjust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTuning Machines\u003c\/b\u003e: Pure Vintage Reverse Open-Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67783249592372,"sku":"0190152807","price":2109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/5224\/9908\/files\/Fender-American-Vintage-II-1954-Precision-Bass-Maple-Fingerboard-Vintage-Blonde-V1500.png?v=1792615976","url":"https:\/\/franklinguitarworks.com\/products\/fender-american-vintage-ii-1954-precision-bass-maple-fingerboard-vintage-blonde-v1500","provider":"Franklin Guitar Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
