FENDER P BASS 1963 REISSUE SERIES

FENDER P BASS 1963 REISSUE SERIES

This model also features the вЂњclay dotвЂќ markers which look very cool.ДЄnother nice option is the availability again of the Lake Placid Blue finish (with matching headstock!) which Fender had previously discontinued from the Vintage Series a few years ago. The main difference here is the round laminated rosewood board instead of the slab board and the familiar three-knob control layout instead of the two stacked knobs found on the вЂ™62 model. Next up is the вЂ™64 Jazz Bass which will basically take the place of the old вЂ™62 reissue J-Bass. Fender does say however that the вЂ™63 P-Bass will have a slightly wider and rounder neck profile that reflects the original 1963 Precision Bass more accurately. The sound and feel of the new вЂ™63 P-Bass should be pretty similar to the old вЂ™62, with a nice warm punchy low end and good mid-range growl. While this is just an aesthetic change it is period correct and I think it looks much better than the bright white dots used on the earlier вЂ™62 P-Bass. The other main difference and one I really like is the introduction of the вЂњclay dotsвЂќ. The вЂ™63 P-Bass has a round laminated rosewood fingerboard instead of a slab fingerboard that came with the вЂ™62 P-Bass. Once again the difference between the two basses is pretty subtle. This bass effectively replaces the вЂ™62 P-Bass vintage reissue that Fender made since 1982. How this will affect the sound is unclear but I suspect that it will sound very much like the old вЂ™57 reissue P-Bass, fat and warm with lots of mid-range bite. The only other real change is the newer split-coil pickup, which has been specially designed for this model. The вЂ™57 reissue had a two-tone sunburst option. The new вЂ™58 P-Bass offers a three-tone sunburst just like an original 1958 Fender P-Bass. So the question isвЂ¦.whatвЂ™s the difference? вЂ™58 Fender Precision BassДЄt first glance, this bass looks very much like the old вЂ™57 reissue P-Bass, and in fact, they are only a couple of differences between the вЂ™58 and вЂ™57 Precision. Fender is now offering a вЂ™58 and вЂ™63 Precision and a вЂ™64 and вЂ™74 Jazz Bass. Gone are the вЂ™57 and вЂ™62 Precision Bass and the вЂ™62 and вЂ™75 Jazz Bass. Fender has completely revamped their American Vintage Series bass line for the first time since they introduced them in 1982.
