1951 marked the birth of the Fender Precision Bass, permanently changing the face of music from that point on. This Custom Shop 1951 Precision Bass pays tribute to those first-year basses, and it's an excellent choice for vintage enthusiasts seeking a premium axe that oozes old-school mojo.
This bass features an ash body with a heavy relic finish package, giving it a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that replicates years of gig wear and battle scars. Its quartersawn maple neck has a 51 P Bass "U"-shaped profile that's nice and chunky, great for laying down thick, chugging riffs, and its period-correct hardware is of exceptional quality and adds to this basses classic aesthetic.
Powering this beast is a Hand-Wound 55 P-Bass pickup that delivers a warm, rich thump with deep lows, punchy mids, and crystal-clear highs. Just plug it into your favorite tube amp, crank the volume, and you'll churn out thunderous tones that'll take you right back to the golden era of rock 'n' roll.
Complete with a 1-ply parchment pickguard, a 51 P-Bass bridge with fiber saddles, and custom shop vintage-style tuners, this beauty is the perfect instrument for players seeking a top-of-the-line Fender bass with a killer tone and a sweet, battle-worn look.
