Fender Custom Shop 75th Anniversary Precision Bass NOS - Natural CZ592434

The Fender Custom Shop 75th Anniversary Precision Bass NOS celebrates the instrument that defined modern bass tone with a refined build rooted in early P Bass design. Introduced in 1951, the Precision Bass revolutionized the role of the electric bass with its commanding low end, straightforward construction and unmistakable voice. This limited-edition Custom Shop model honors that legacy with a resonant roasted ash body finished in thin NOS nitrocellulose lacquer, paired with a striking one-piece 3A bird's-eye maple neck carved to a comfortable 1960 Oval "C" profile. At its core, a Custom Shop hand-wound ’55 Precision Bass single-coil pickup delivers the punch, depth and articulate response that established the P Bass as the backbone of modern music. Period-inspired details—including a black anodized pickguard, vintage-style hardware and traditional ’55 wiring—complete a professional-grade instrument that captures the spirit of Leo Fender’s original design through the elevated craftsmanship of the Fender Custom Shop.

Roasted Ash Body and NOS Nitro Lacquer Finish for Resonant Tone

Roasted ash forms the tonal backbone of this limited-edition Precision Bass, delivering lively resonance, clear note definition and balanced low-end response. A thin NOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish with a WLS undercoat allows the body to vibrate freely while maintaining the clean, time-capsule look of a brand-new vintage instrument. Long favored for its articulate attack and dynamic range, ash provides an ideal platform for the authoritative voice that has defined the Precision Bass for generations.

Hand-Wound ’55 Precision Bass Pickup for Foundational Low-End Authority

At the center of the instrument’s voice is a Custom Shop hand-wound ’55 Precision Bass single-coil pickup. Known for its punchy low end, focused midrange and articulate attack, this vintage-inspired design responds dynamically to playing nuance while retaining clarity in both studio and live settings. Traditional ’55 wiring keeps the signal path simple and expressive, allowing the natural character of the instrument to shine through with only subtle shaping from the volume and tone controls.

3A Bird's-Eye Maple Neck and 1960 Oval "C" Profile for Classic Precision Bass Feel

Visually striking and unmistakably Fender, the one-piece 3A bird's-eye maple neck adds both elegance and familiar playability to the instrument. Shaped to the 1960 Precision Bass Oval “C” profile, the neck offers a substantial yet comfortable grip suited to long sessions of groove-driven playing. A 9.5" fingerboard radius paired with 20 Jescar Vintage (45085) frets creates a smooth, consistent surface that encourages fluid movement while preserving the traditional feel Precision Bass players expect.

Vintage-Inspired Hardware With Modern Stability

Period-inspired hardware reinforces the Precision Bass’s classic aesthetic while delivering dependable modern performance. A black anodized aluminum pickguard provides bold visual contrast against the roasted ash body, echoing the look of early Precision Bass models. Fender’s RSD Designed HiMass bass bridge enhances sustain and note definition, improving stability while maintaining vintage character. ’55 Precision Bass tuning machines, a bone nut and a vintage disc string tree complete a hardware package designed for smooth tuning and consistent response.

A 75th Anniversary Tribute to the Bass That Started It All

Built by the Fender Custom Shop to commemorate three-quarters of a century of low-end innovation, the 75th Anniversary Precision Bass NOS blends early P Bass inspiration with elevated modern craftsmanship. From its resonant roasted ash body and striking bird's-eye maple neck to its hand-wound ’55 pickup and carefully chosen vintage appointments, every detail reflects Fender’s enduring commitment to tone, playability and design. Supplied with a deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity, this limited-edition instrument stands as both a celebration of Leo Fender’s groundbreaking invention and a professional-grade bass built for serious players.
