Fender has announced the release of the Limited Edition Midnight Hour Precision Bass. The instrument, finished in a striking purple sparkle gloss, was created in recognition of hip-hop producers Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge, who recently worked on the soundtrack for Marvel’s Luke Cage series and released an album as the Midnight Hour. The instrument also celebrates the release of Artform, a Fender documentary on Muhammad and Younge.
In addition to the purple sparkle gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, the bass boasts Pure Vintage ’63 Split-Coil Precision Bass pickups, an alder body and a 34-inch-scale “1963 C” maple neck with rosewood fingerboard.
