The first instruments to bear the Squier name were introduced in 1982, answering the call for genuine Fender® designs at accessible prices. The Squier 40th Anniversary collection celebrates the 40-year journey of Fender’s entry-level brand with special editions of the Telecaster®, Stratocaster®, Jazzmaster®, Precision Bass®, and Jazz Bass®, all available in Gold Edition and Vintage Edition variants.
The Squier® 40th Anniversary Precision Bass®, Vintage Edition is a soulful tribute model trimmed with a collection of classic features for the retro-minded Squier enthusiast. Featuring aged chrome hardware, an anodized aluminium pickguard, a vintage-tinted maple neck, an engraved anniversary neck plate and a satin finish throughout, this P Bass® honours the heritage of the Squier catalogue and its ancestry. Player-friendly refinements of this commemorative model include a slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile for an easy playing feel, vintage-style tuning machines and a 4-saddle bridge with barrel saddles for authentic performance and style, and a Fender-Designed split single-coil pickup with alnico 5 magnets for familiar P Bass tone.
