Custom Fender Custom Shop Custom 1959 Precision Bass NOS Black

Item: FE9235000445

After playing this Fender Custom Shop Custom 1959 P-Bass, it's easy to realize why Fender Custom Shop basses are so in demand. The tone is extremely balanced from string to string, and I feel this is due, in part, to the hand wound '57 P Bass pickup which has two longer pole pieces under the A string. These extended poles have completely balanced string volume and timbre across the four strings, creating a wonderful “clean slate” to compose upon. As far as looks go, this instrument is stunningly beautiful in a high class, understated way, and is the actual instrument photographed on page 20 of Fender's 2017 Design Guide. The vintage bridge with threaded saddles provides lots of grooves to position the strings into, allowing the player to customize playability to their liking. Another unique feature of this “custom” bass is the tall, skinny 6105 fret wire, this allows for a light touch that can easily transfer to lots tonal nuances. This bass is a real winner, do not hesitate to buy it today. - Scott
