Fender 85 Precision Bass, Maple, Olympic White with Hard Case (pre-owned)

Played in and built to last.

Full-bodied, punchy and timeless; that’s the Fender Precision Bass. This 1985 model embodies the classic tone and feel that has defined generations of players. Known for its simple yet powerful design, it delivers the unmistakable midrange growl, tight low end and balanced response that makes the Precision Bass a cornerstone of countless recordings and live performances. Its solid construction, smooth neck and responsive feel provide the kind of reliability that musicians have trusted for decades.

This example is in great condition for its age. There is minor fret wear and some natural tarnish and ageing on the hardware, along with typical finish discolouration that reflects over three decades of life. A few small marks and scuffs can be found, all minimal and nothing unsightly or concerning. Adding some quirk and versatility, a passive Shadow Piezo has been installed, allowing for enhanced acoustic style tones alongside the standard pickup. Despite its age, it plays comfortably and retains all the character that have made Fender basses legendary while picking up some mojo along the way.

Whether you’re a collector seeking a vintage workhorse or a player in search of authentic 1980s Fender tone, this 1985 Precision Bass offers character, reliability and the unmistakable voice of one of the most iconic instruments ever made.
