Manufacturer's Description for Fender Road Worn 50s Precision Electric Bass (with Gig Bag)

The original was born in the '50s and produced the sound of bass. On the road, the more you punished a Precision, the more it gave back -- a virtually indestructible bass that took a beating and laughed while it asked for more, becoming even cooler-looking and more comfortable-feeling than when it was brand-new. Fender's new Road Worn '50s Precision Bass guitar delivers that aged look and feel -- designed with 1950s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and built to look, sound and feel like it's got more than just a few miles on it. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Fender products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (4 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Looking for vintage Fender Precision bass look and sound, here it is."
Sound: I was an owner of an original '64 Fender P-Bass. I loved that bass, played it 'till it fell apart after 35 years. I looked for a replacement, tried everything, couldn't find what I was looking for until now. This Road Worn P-bass is awesome. It has the 'sound'. I like it better than the American Standards, as good as the original '64. I was skeptical at first, but after playing gigs, it really roars. I finally got my groove back. Feature: I give it a 10 for features. For me, it has the P-Bass sound, which is all I need. It does have an interesting tone control. It sort of has three sounds as you turn it. All forward is bright and growly, in the middle it has a 'spacey' sound(in a good way), all the way back, it is subdued like an upright. I use RotoSound Swing 66's(45-105) and they sound great. I suspect flats would work really well too. I chose the Sunburst finish, same as my original '64. I thought the 'Fiesta Red' was a little too Salmon-y. I don' recall the originals being as 'pink-ish'. Ease of Use: Plays great. The setup out of the box was good, did a little tweaking after putting on the RotoSounds. The neck is a little thinner than the original '64 and American Standards. I actually like that, makes it a little easier to play for these aging fingers. It's a little lighter in weight than Americans, which is also a plus for me. Quality: Very well made. It is definitely better than a 'Mexican' standard. Although made in the same plant, it has better materials and workmanship. The 'Road Worn' finish is thin nitrocellulose-lacquer and is very authentic and helps the tone and sustain. The worn-ness of it is a little over done, but I do get a lot of positive comments. My favorite is the cigarette burn on the headstock.....Too bad I don't smoke. Value: I'm giving it a 9, at $999 it is almost the same price as American Standards. I personally like this bass better, but it should be about $100 or so less since it is not made in CA. Manufacturer Support: Can't say, haven't had to deal with them in a very long time. That lends to the inherent quality of their guitars. The Wow Factor: Again 9 here. My attraction to this bass was not the Road Worn finish. At first I was hesitant because of the finish and Maple fretboard(my '64 had rosewood, or course). A Mexico made bass that was beat with a bicycle chain, than doubled in price, didn't make sense. But, after playing in the store, and now using it as my regular gigging bass, definitely what I want. Overall: This is the bass for me. It has the feel and sound of my original '64, but plays easier. The sound is all P-Bass and really drives the sound of my band. We play elements of jazz fusion blended with Classic Rock. I also have a Jazz bass, which now sits on a stand as a backup. I can't get away from the sound that says it all, vintage Fender Precision bass.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "almost got it 100% right... get one!"
Sound: The sound of this 50s road worn Pbass is awesome IMHO... however, I changed the pickup (based on a review I read elsewhere). I crossed my fingers and put in a SeymourDuncan Antiquity pickup, as suggested by the reviewer. I am not sorry I did that. Whereas the original pickup sounded great. the seymour duncan sounds really-really great. Feature: Not many features here except for the free gigbag. The road worn look is nice. I got the sunburst model. The brass pickguard is groovy. the retro tuners are tight but really hold tuning well. The neck feels like it's on the large side, but only a fraction. I got used to it fairly quick and have adjusted (was playing basses with smaller necks before). Ease of Use: This is a very simple bass. just plug it in and play. One volume knob, One tone knob.... done. This bass is kind of a large instrument, so I would not recommend this one for small kids learning bass etc... the bass has a nice weight to it. not too heavy, and not too light either. Quality: The fit and finish are nearly flawless. The quality is fairly high. The one thing I had to do (and this is due to my guitar tech knowledge) is add another string tree (string holder-downer thingy) for the two heavy strings E and A....BECAUSE.... there was moderated string buzzing in the nut slots. holding the strings down stopped the nut buzzing. The bass comes with the standard one string tree for the D and G strings. Overall, I am very happy with the bass quality and finish. Value: I paid the full discount list of 999.99 (used the 4 payment plan). It is about the maximum I would pay. I almost wish it was more like 899 tops. However, this is ultimately a fine bass to own.... Manufacturer Support: have not used it yet for the bass. but I have asked Fender for help with other matters, and they have always come thru with answers. The Wow Factor: I would say this bass is inspiring, it has a high 'coolness' factor, in my opinion... Overall: I expect to be happy with this bass for a long while. I was collecting cheaper basses in the past (and fixing them up), but there is nothing like buying and playing a more quality instrument.
