Every detail is geared towards an authentic vintage playing experience. From the comfortable late '60s C neck profile and 7.25 inch radius fingerboard, to the vintage tall frets and period correct hardware, this bass feels instantly familiar under the fingers. Whether you are chasing old school Motown thump, rock grit or soulful R&B lines, the Vintera III Late '60s Precision Bass gives you the classic Fender foundation that just works in any mix.

Authentic Late '60s Feel

The late '60s C shape maple neck offers a sweet spot between slim and chunky, giving you plenty of support for your fretting hand without feeling cumbersome. Combined with the 7.25 inch radius rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets, it encourages a relaxed, flowing playing style that is perfect for laying down solid grooves over long sets.

Classic Alder and Rosewood Tone

An alder body paired with a round laminated rosewood fingerboard delivers the quintessential Fender bass sound, with a balanced midrange, clear attack and just the right amount of warmth. This combination helps every note speak clearly, whether you are playing with a pick or fingers, and sits naturally in a band mix without needing to fight for space.

Vintage Style Split Single Coil Power

At the heart of the Vintera III Late '60s Precision Bass is a vintage style late '60s split single coil pickup. Voiced for punch, presence and that unmistakable P Bass growl, it captures the powerful, rounded low end and articulate midrange that made Fender basses a studio and stage standard. Simple master volume and tone controls let you quickly dial in everything from deep, muted thump to brighter, more aggressive tones.

Period Correct Hardware and Looks

Vintage style hardware completes the late sixties aesthetic and performance. The 4 saddle vintage style bridge with threaded steel saddles provides solid intonation and sustain, while the vintage style lollipop tuning machines offer smooth, reliable tuning. Finished in sleek Black with a 3 ply parchment pickguard and aged white pearloid inlays, this bass looks every bit as classic as it sounds.
