Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The American Vintage II 1954 Precision Bass is a right-handed, 34-inch-scale four-string built with an ash body, one-piece maple neck, maple fingerboard, and a single-coil pickup. Its control layout stays simple with master volume and master tone, while the two-saddle Precision Bass bridge uses fiber saddles. The 7.25-inch-radius maple board has 20 vintage-tall frets. Finished in 2-Color Sunburst with gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, it comes with a vintage-style tweed case.
