Fender 60th Anniversary P Bass  

This bass is a perfect example of what a P-Bass should be.  When I saw it online at this site and fender.com I knew I had to own one of these special edition basses.  I love the fit & finish.  It is perfect, and it has classic P-Bass tone.  If you want a PHAT bass sound, buy this P-Bass.

The build quality on this bass is excellent.  The fretwork is flawless.

I believe this bass could be sold for twice the price and people would still buy it.

This bass is a 10 out of 10 for me.

I was fortunate enough to get this beauty direct from Fender, it was sitting in the middle of their new visitor center and you can play every guitar they make that isnt under glass (Leo's Originals, some Artist Guitars) so this was locked and i asked if i could try it, they were kind enough to unlock it and pull it down, I dont know if the MOJO of sitting next to the original guitars Leo made or what it was but this thing just smoked, amazing tone control, tons of Growl, it is just a mean BASS, I asked if i could buy it, and 20 minutes later I had it in the car. I am a Jazz Bass player for years and have never like the P Necks but am now converted..... Plus the Case it came in is like a vault.. you need this guitar

Superb, Not a single issue to complain about, fit and finish, set up absolutly perfection

This Bass will only go up in value...

I started with Fender Jazz Bass 34 years ago, and I guess have come full circle, I currently own a Fender 60th P, Kubicki XFactor, G&L JB2 and a few others but its Fender in my Blood

The only reason this 60th Anniversary Precision doesn't get a 10 is because it IS a P-Bass.  Simplicity is the beauty of these things.  If you're looking for a dozen different controls/knobs, get something else.  But if you want a meat-and-potatoes blue collar workhorse, you can't beat a P.  Looks-wise, I think it's stunning.  The Blackguard Blonde looks killer with the maple neck/board and the black pickguard.  The beautiful grain of the ash shows through nicely as well.  I've always liked the looks of the '51 styled basses, but I'm not a fan of the slab bodies.  This one has the contoured body, so it's much more comfortable on a long gig.

Very well made.  Set up was great right out of the box, although I did tweak it a bit after I slapped on some flats.  (By the way, I LOVE flats on this bass!)  Like most Fenders, set-ups are quite user-friendly.  Very comfortable neck, and the fretwork is superb.  This has one of the most responsive tone knobs I've seen on a P-Bass, and I've had a number of them.  As mentioned above, the ash grain showing through the Blonde finish looks awesome.  And I really like the extra string-retainer on the A-string.

Well, I don't really see it as a lot better than the newer American Standards; but it IS a limited edition.  Buying it on sale makes the price much more palatable.  On sale, I think it's a very good value.

Beautiful, attention-grabbing bass that is sure to garner a lot of compliments when you play out.  Admittedly, I'm a Fender kind of guy.  I own a bunch of them, and have owned a bunch more.  I have a few other Precisions; but I like this one because it has a different look than the more common post-1957-styled P's.  And it sounds like a good Precision should.

    I have played bass for almost 40 years now and have owned a number of basses. I currently own and play a Fender Jazz Bass V, Warwick $$, Music Man 25th Anniversary V, Washburn Custom Shop V and an American Standard P Bass.

    I received this bass two weeks ago and it was set up just right out of the box.  The finish on the bass was perfect and everything fit together like is should. The neck had no dead spots and felt great.  I really love the laquer finish on it. I prefer it to the polyurethane finish on the American Standards.  You have to be a little more careful with it but that is a small price to pay. And it looks cool!

   I absolutely love the sound of this bass.  It sounds like a vintage P bass.  When I think of what a P bass should sound like, this bass delivers that sound.

    I am now going to sell my American Standard P Bass because when I want a P bass sound, it's going to be the 60th Anniversary Bass.

    I whole heartedly recommend this bass.
