The bass that launched a thousand gold-plated hits, the Fender James Jamerson 1962 Precision Bass is a loving tribute to whom many consider, with good reason, the greatest bassist of all time. This striking, '60s-style Precision Bass, directly inspired by Jamerson's own, summons a period-accurate tangible and sonic experience to fall in line with Jamerson's context-defying legacy. Early '60s Motown style drips from this P Bass for an instrument to carry on a lifetime's worth of indispensable bass playing.

According to the likes of legendary bass players like Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, and John Entwistle, James Jamerson doesn't even compare. An icon among icons, James Jamerson's decorated body of work speaks for itself across years of work with timeless Motown hitmakers from Marvin Gaye to Smokey Robinson to Stevie Wonder. Today's James Jamerson Precision Bass recreates the bassist's signature instrument with striking authenticity through Fender flourishes all throughout.

This James Jamerson special begins with an alder solidbody assuming an iconic double-cutaway P Bass form. Decked in Fender's specialized Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish, this instrument's gloss coat exhibits a keen age normally found in much older Fender models. Celebrating the distinctly '60s style of this bass, the instrument's gently worn lacquer makes it a true vintage model in the modern day.

This authenticity continues on with a maple neck, also decked in Heirloom gloss, assuming a custom, era-correct James Jamerson 1962 "C" neck profile. A period-accurate "C" differing from your usual Fender "C", this aged, gloss neck connects Jamerson's grip to yours as you traverse the bass's full scale. A slab rosewood fingerboard with twenty Vintage Tall frets across a 7.25" radius compounds on this vintage feel and playability.

All of these tangible features meet with a number of specifications designed for further authenticity and playability. Onboard this instrument, a custom-voiced James Jamerson '62 Precision Bass split single-coil pickup embodies all the thump and smoothness of the bassist's original pickup. This distinctly Motown split-coil drives the entire experience forward for a bass in and out of time. There's plenty more to this Motown trip downtown, however. A Pure Vintage 4-Saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles lands at the instrument's base with period-correct chrome bridge cover and pickup cover for that distinct '60s playing experience.

A bone nut and Pure Vintage Reverse Open-Gear tuning machines land at the Original Precision Bass-shape headstock for smooth stringing. Speaking of strings, this signature model goes the extra mile with La Bella 0760M stainless steel flatwound strings for the full Motown package. The bass travels with an included Fender Vintage-Style Brown hardshell case with an orange interior and a custom certificate of authenticity and commemorative booklet.

All these years later and the sun's all but set on Motown. Luckily enough, everyone knows that's when the party truly starts. You can't hurry love, but you might have to in this case before this James Jamerson special is gone.

Real leather, soft and lightweight
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
This medium sized leather tote bag is well made, with tight stitching; heavy duty, gunmetal colored hardware; and a thick, dark gray fabric lining on the inside. There are 2 short, rounded handles that do not fold down, and a narrow, flat, detachable crossbody strap that can be adjusted in length. The style is simple and classic, with a hand-dyed brown finish that will go well with most outfits. It's versatile, being suitable for work or everyday use. It can carry a small laptop or tablet, along with other essential items. There are no outside pockets, but inside there are several. The central compartment is spacious, with 2 slip pockets on one side. There are also 2 zippered pockets, with a large open pocket separating them. The top of the bag has a full, metal zipper that seems good quality. This bag is very attractive as well as functional, and though the leather feels lightweight the bag seems durable. Its listed price is a little high for my budget, but a coupon offer currently makes it a good value. I was very surprised that there is no logo or branding of any kind visible on the outside of this bag, and only one name label stitched to a pocket on the inside. Many bags I see have prominent names, symbols, or initials on the outside, and sometimes all over the inside lining as well. The simplicity of this bag is a refreshing change as it lets the quality speak for itself. I like it!

Great bag
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
This is a wonderful leather bag. It can be carried by handles or worn crossbody. It fits my 13" MacBook Pro perfectly though it doesn't have any particular padding to protect a laptop. I have a couple of nitpicks though for a bag that costs $98. 1/It's a shame that the handles can't lay down or disappear in some way when not in use. They just look a little goofy when you wear the bag across your body. And 2/the stitching is a little weird. The exterior shows the stitching for the inside pocket and I don't know that it's necessary. All in all it's a good bag but if I could return it I would consider doing so because of the way the handles stick up when worn crossbody. I do think, ultimately that's a dealbreaker for me.

This Bag Is Unbelievable - Serious Business
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
I’m a self-admitted bag enthusiast, and this one genuinely surprised me. I wasn’t familiar with the brand, but the quality is immediately apparent. The leather is soft yet substantial, giving it a premium feel without seeming fragile or flimsy. The stitching is impeccable, and the front and back are cleanly designed with no unnecessary frills—just a timeless, well-constructed silhouette. It’s the kind of bag that people notice, whether you’re carrying it or someone sees it from across the room. The strap was neatly packaged inside, and everything arrived in perfect condition. I looked it over carefully and couldn’t find a single flaw. In my opinion, this is a near-perfect everyday bag and an impressive value for the quality. *** Photos are front of bag (same as back), side of bag & bottom of bag. As you can see the stitching, as well as everything else, is quite impressive. Love this bag!

Gorgeous Color!
Color: Coffee, Color: Coffee
I am very happy with the color of this purse the inside pockets and zipped pockets, a total of 4, allows for neat organization of all my items such as phone, cosmetics, sunglasses, tissues, perfume, mints and etc... I love the gun metal colored hardware. The zippers move smoothly. The crossbody strap is long enough for my 6' frame and sits right at my hip when I use the last buckle hole. All the stitching is complete and tight. Speaking of stitching, I removed a star because the inside pockets are sewn on and shows on the back of the purse. I don't like having to check if my purse is facing the right way. For the price of this purse the stitching should not be showing. The interior lining is a cloth-like fabric. The inside zipped pockets are full size and lay on top of each other. This is different from what I've seen in other purses. When the purse is full, the top pocket slightly covers the main compartment bottom from view. I will be sure to put something somewhat flat in that pocket to avoid this. There is no offensive odor from shipping. Because of the stitching issue, I cannot recommend to others without point this out.

Doctor Doctor-give me the news!!! This purse is…
Color: Black, Color: Black
Amazing!!! This is an updated review because the seller sent me a replacement. I use this bag for photography. It’s easy to reach into and set down as needed. There’s room for one body and two lenses and multiple accessories. I use a wrist grip and do street photography. I don’t like to carry my camera around my neck and draw attention. This bag is perfect for keeping my camera in between shots. The bags interior is super soft and the leather itself on the outside feels high-quality and is stitched very well. Being footed is an extra great quality so that I feel confident setting it down. The extra long strap is great, as a large bag like this needs to be worn as a crossbody for most people I upgraded to a wide strap for the weight of my camera system. I always update my reviews in a year. So I will come back and let you know how it’s holding up! (Old review) ***********Arrived with someone else’s complaint already prepared for me! What an entrance!! She was right, the tag and bag don’t match. It is the bag I ordered but…. VERY VERY DAMAGED!!! For this much money, where is the quality control? Someone else’s return, and multiple gauges throughout the leather of the bag? I uploaded about 5 different places where the leather is gauged-and then stopped photographing. Sadly, I think this is a good bag - a bit overpriced, and small, the zipper is iffy as well but clearly the bag isn’t a keeper in this condition. Shame on the seller.
