About the Fender PB-57 Precision Bass Reissue MIJ

The PB-57 recreates the late-'50s Precision Bass as it existed shortly after Fender moved the model to its familiar contoured, offset-waist body and split single-coil pickup layout, both introduced in 1957. The one-piece maple neck and fingerboard, rather than a separate rosewood board, matches period-correct '50s Fender construction, paired with the anodized aluminum-look gold pickguard characteristic of that specific window before tortoiseshell and later white three-ply guards became standard.

As a Fender Japan production reissue rather than a Custom Shop or American Vintage instrument, the PB-57 targets players who want period-correct 1957 specifications and construction details at a lower price than US-built vintage reissues, produced to Fender's Japanese manufacturing standards rather than as a limited or boutique run.

Sound character of the Fender PB-57 Precision Bass Reissue MIJ

The one-piece maple neck and fingerboard (rather than a separate rosewood board) tends to sound brighter and more direct than a rosewood-topped neck, and paired with the split single-coil P pickup on an alder/ash body, it delivers a punchy, articulate take on the classic late-1950s P-Bass thump.

Bright Punchy Vintage-voiced
