Designed to help bassists dial into some of music history’s most iconic low-end tones, the Fender James Jamerson 1962 Precision Bass artist signature model pays tribute to the man widely regarded as the most influential bassist of all time. From the driving grooves of Motown classics to the countless bassists inspired by his groundbreaking approach, James Jamerson changed the role of the electric bass forever. This meticulously crafted recreation honors the instrument that served as the foundation beneath some of the most beloved recordings in popular music.

Built to capture the spirit of Jamerson’s legendary 1962 Precision Bass, this model combines vintage-correct construction with premium modern craftsmanship. The alder body is finished in a beautifully aged Heirloom Nitrocellulose Lacquer 3-Color Sunburst, while the maple neck features a comfortable James Jamerson 1962 "C" profile paired with a slab rosewood fingerboard and vintage-inspired 7.25" radius. Every detail, from the clay dot inlays and vintage-style reverse tuners to the included chrome pickup and bridge covers, reflects the look and feel of the original instrument that helped define an era.

At the heart of the bass is a custom-voiced James Jamerson '62 split single-coil pickup designed to recreate the thick, articulate, and deeply musical tones heard on countless Motown recordings. Combined with the included La Bella flatwound strings (the same style of strings synonymous with Jamerson’s legendary sound) this bass delivers the warm fundamental, focused low end, and rich midrange presence that bass players have been chasing for generations. Complete with a premium hardshell case, custom certificate of authenticity, and commemorative booklet, this exceptional instrument is both a tribute to a musical pioneer and a professional-grade Precision Bass built for today's players.
