Description
Some parts are just hardware. This one’s a history lesson. Fender’s Pure Vintage line reaches back into the original tooling wherever possible, so this bridge assembly isn’t a modern reinterpretation of the early ’58 Precision Bass bridge — it’s built the way the real thing was built, right down to the barrel-saddle profile that gives vintage P Basses their distinctive low-end growl and slightly loose, woody sustain compared to modern high-mass bridges.
The chrome-plated steel bridge plate carries four nickel-plated grooved barrel saddles, the kind that let strings sit and speak rather than get clamped into rigid isolation. It’s a straightforward swap for anyone restoring an original ’58-era instrument back to spec, or for players chasing that specific vintage attack and midrange bark on a newer build.
- Genuine Fender bass bridge assembly with chrome-plated bridge plate and four nickel-plated steel grooved barrel saddles
- Saddle height adjustment screws, intonation screws, a saddle height adjustment wrench, and mounting screws all included
- Originally used on early ’58 Precision Bass guitars
- Five-screw mounting pattern fits most vintage and modern Precision Bass and Jazz Bass guitars — not compatible with American Standard or American Deluxe bass models
If you’re chasing period-correct tone and looks rather than a compromise, this is the bridge Fender itself would have used.
