Fender James Jamerson 1962 Precision Bass: The Groove That Built Motown
You want the sound that anchored a thousand hits. The Fender James Jamerson 1962 Precision Bass hands it to you, note for note, feel for feel. This era-correct tribute honors the legendary "Funk Brother" whose deep, melodic lines rewrote the rulebook for electric bass and shaped popular music forever. Built around an alder body and finished in a stunning Heirloom Nitrocellulose Lacquer 3-Tone Sunburst, this bass doesn't just chase vintage vibe—it lives it, right down to the way the finish ages and breathes over time. If you crave authentic Motown magic with professional polish, your search ends here.
A Neck That Plays Like 1962 Felt
Great grooves start with great feel, and this neck nails it. The maple neck wears the James Jamerson '60s "C" profile, faithfully recreating the exact shape that fit Jamerson's hands like a glove. A slab rosewood fingerboard with a rounded 7.25-inch radius and 20 vintage tall frets keeps your fretting hand comfortable, fast, and locked into that pocket all night long. Classic clay dot inlays guide your eyes while a smooth bone nut keeps your tuning tight and your spacing spot-on. Whether you're walking lines or laying down a deep, driving groove, this neck makes every note feel effortless and authentic.
A Pickup and Hardware Built for Pure Vintage Punch
Plug in and feel the foundation. The custom James Jamerson '62 Split Single Coil Precision Bass pickup delivers that unmistakable low-end thump—warm, round, and ready to anchor any mix the way it anchored the Motown hit factory. Strung with La Bella flat wound strings, this bass dishes out smooth, thumpy tone with that classic vintage roll-off. Down at the bridge, a Pure Vintage 4-saddle setup with threaded steel saddles locks in your intonation and sustain, while Pure Vintage reverse open-gear tuners keep your pitch precise gig after gig. Every component honors the original, so you get period-correct performance without a single compromise.
