With the Fender Stories Collection, we celebrate legendary musicians, their customised Fender electric guitars and basses, and the timeless music created with them.


Leland “Lee” Sklar earned himself a firm place in the music world with his flawless groove and exceptional understanding of melodic line. His basslines can be heard on some of the most important records of all time, including those by James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Phil Collins and many other artists. Always by his side: his customised Precision Bass® with its soulful tone and unmistakable character.


Sklar transformed his Precision Bass into something new. First, he stripped back the bare wood and let it collect its marks. Every imperfection on the body represents a moment on tour or in the studio. He fitted a Hipshot® BT3 Bass Xtender™ and extended the range downwards, along with two EMG® Active Lee Sklar P pickups for a particularly clear, loud tone, a Badass™ II bridge for long sustain and precise intonation, and a new Precision Bass neck, which he had sanded down to Jazz Bass dimensions and fitted with mandolin frets. This resulted in a sensationally smooth playing feel. The bass became as unique as the man who plays it.


The Fender Lee Sklar Precision Bass® captures this character. With this model, we pay tribute to one of the busiest studio and live bassists in history. A seasoned, outstanding musician whose feel, taste and tone have shaped the sound of pop music for more than five decades.

Fender gilt als einer der größten Hersteller und Wegbereiter der Solidbody-Gitarren. Als Schöpfer der Telecaster und Stratocaster schuf Gründer Leo Fender Meilensteine in der Geschichte elektrischer Gitarren und damit einen Kult. Schon der Name Fender genügt, um im Gehirn Melodien, Erinnerungen und Emotionen zu erzeugen. Wer eine Fender Telecaster oder eine Fender Stratocaster hört, dem kommen sofort legendäre Songs wie "Purple Haze" von Jimi Hendrix , "Smoke on the Water" von Deep Purple, "Cocaine" von Eric Clapton ins Ohr. Eine lange Geschichte steht ebenso hinter den berühmten Fender Amps. Leo Fender hat mit dem Bau von Gitarrenverstärkern bereits angefangen, bevor er die ersten Gitarren baute. Diese waren natürlich in Röhrentechnik gebaut, Fender begann erst in den späten 60er Jahren mit solidstate Modellen...
