Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass Daphne Blue (060)

The early ‘60s was a time of transition for Fender, as well as a watershed period in the development of the Precision Bass—which would see the introduction of many new appointments that have since become synonymous with the P-Bass.

Another refinement of the P-Bass that has stood the test of time is the split-coil pickup. With two alnico magnet pole pieces for each string and an offset design to optimize the tone of the bass and treble strings, the Precision Bass Split-Coil pickup design delivers solid, deep and thundering bass tone.
