Timeless P Bass design
Leo Fender brought us the Precision Bass back in the 1950s, and its classic body shape and comfortable neck continue to give today’s Squier 40th Anniversary Gold Edition Precision Bass excellent playability and a distinctive look. As with so many of his original designs, Leo nailed the essence of a great instrument right from the start. Over a half century later, the Squier 40th Anniversary Gold Edition Precision Bass still sets the affordable standard in electric bass guitars.
