For the Fender American Vintage '58 Roasted Ash Precision Bass, Fender uses a remarkable selection of wood to produce the body in Roasted Ash, while the screwed neck in Roasted Maple. By "roasting" in a vacuum, the wood loses a large part of its residual moisture and thus becomes insensitive to climate fluctuations. At the same time, the resonance behavior is optimized so that the bass shines with a particularly vividly appealing sound. The usual strong "Large C" profile offers a good grip.

Equipped with Alnico magnets, it delivers the typical Preci sound with a rich growl in the low midrange and powerful pressure, which is the perfect groove foundation for almost any musical style between blues, rock and pop. Traditional passive switching with master volume and master tone can be used to call up a wide range of timbres.
