Squier’s Gold Edition series celebrates four decades of history with blinged-out models of all Fender’s classic guitars and basses. From the pickguard to the bridge and even the washers, the 40th Anniversary Gold Edition Precision Bass is studded with striking all-gold hardware. It also boasts a stunning bound Indian laurel neck with pearloid blocks, a late-'60s feature that Music Experience guitarists find complements this guitar’s decked-out cosmetics. A pair of Fender-designed alnico single-coils gives this bass a classicPrecision punch, with fat lows, in-your-face mids, and clear highs. Squier will only be making 40th Anniversary Gold Edition Precision Bass in 2022, so make sure you get yours before they're gone for good!
One of the things that made the P Bass an instant hit with working bass players was its comfortable contoured body shape. Perfectly balanced whether playing standing or seated, the Squier 40th Anniversary Gold Edition Precision Bass will make those marathon playing sessions much more comfortable. Its "C"-profile neck satisfyingly fills out your hand and always feels just right — another reason why the Precision is the choice of bassists the world over.

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.
