The Korena take

Olympic White gives this American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass a period-focused presentation, matched by an alder body with gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, clay dot inlays, and nickel/chrome hardware. The electronics stay deliberately simple: one Pure Vintage ’60 split single-coil pickup, a master volume, and a master tone. It has a maple bolt-on C-shaped neck, slab rosewood fingerboard, 20 vintage-tall frets, and a 7.25-inch radius. A Pure Vintage four-saddle bridge, bone nut, reverse open-gear tuners, and a vintage-style brown case complete the instrument.
