ARTICLE N° 101785
If one had to embody the golden age of groove in an instrument, this 1960 Precision Bass would be the undisputed chosen one. Its iconic design, with refined curves and a bright Olympic White finish, testifies to a timeless refinement. The combination of the alder body and the nitrocellulose varnish guarantees a natural resonance and an undeniable tonal richness. Far from modern artifices, it captures the soul of the first Fender models, with a refined but devilishly effective approach. The maple neck, topped with a 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard, is not just a support for your fingers, but a real highway to optimal playing comfort. The 1960s-specific "C" shape offers a fluid grip, balanced between finesse and robustness. Whether you're a fan of fingerpicking or pick playing, this bass reacts with natural dynamics and a sustain that would make the most modern instruments pale.

Sound-wise, there's no point in looking for noon at two o'clock: the Pure Vintage '60 microphone delivers perfectly balanced power, with fleshy mids and full bass. Each note fits precisely into the mix, whether it's a velvety groove or a punchy line. No frills, no invasive electronics: just volume, tone, and the very essence of Precision sound Bass.

The vintage hardware completes this retro picture with flawless authenticity. From the Pure Vintage reverse-rotation tuners to the four-saddle threaded steel bridge, everything exudes solidity and fidelity to the original models. Even the Vintage-Style Brown case supplied with this bass plays the revival card, with a beautiful orange interior. Ready to put on your best leather jacket to make this legend roar?
