Fender James Jamerson 1962 Precision Bass RW 3-Tone Sunburst is a bass guitar.

Description

The Fender James Jamerson 1962 Precision Bass RW 3-Tone Sunburst is a faithful tribute to the instrument that helped shape Motown music. Built to capture the sound and feel of Jamersons original it features an alder body finished in Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer complete with subtle ageing that mirrors an early 60s bass. The result is a rich resonant tone with that unmistakable Precision Bass thump that formed the musical bedrock of the Motown era. A maple neck carved to a period-correct 60s C profile pairs with a slab rosewood fingerboard and 7.25″ radius giving it a smooth vintage feel that suits groove-focused playing. The custom-voiced James Jamerson pickup delivers deep lows warm mids and a rounded top end that sits perfectly in a mix. Finished with vintage-style hardware and La Bella flatwound strings and supplied in a classic hardshell case with a commemorative booklet this bass is built for players who want authentic tone feel and history in one instrument.
