Custom Fender 50's Precision Bass 2015 Black

Fender Classic Series 50's Precision Bass

This is just an absolutely amazing bass guitar! The Fender Classic 50's Series P Bass is more than just an aesthetically pleasing throw-back bass guitar. It has all the bells and whistles of the original p-basses, yet manufactured in a modern facility that ensures the bass's tone, finish, and the play-ability of it's forefathers, yet up-to-date for today's demanding players.

If you are looking for the tone of the original Fender Precision Basses, this one has it in spades. The vintage split-style Fender pick-ups deliver that classic low-end sound that blends perfectly into the mix! The tone of legendary bassists such as James Jamerson was delivered in this era of Fender Precision Basses, and like him, you too can produce that classic thump with the Fender Classic 50's Precision Bass.

The finish of the Classic 50's Precision Bass is just like the instruments of the fifties (and what you encounter on many high-end basses of today) nitrocellulose. A nitrocellulose finish is sought after by many vintage instrument aficionados for it's light, thin finish that many believe helps with the resonance of the instrument. Another reason that this finish is prized, and this is an odd reason for some, but it wears. That's right, it wears. So when you see those old guitars with the finish worn off from long hours of playing or touring, more-than-likely, it's a nitrocellulose finish. (See Road Worn Series Guitars and Basses from Fender as an example of how popular that particular look is for many players.)

Ultimately, what really makes this a great bass is it's play-ability! Whenever I take it up, my hand just seems to float over the neck without strain. The Fender Vintage style bridge is the gold-standard when it comes to bass guitars and the Classic 50's Precision Bass incorporates the vintage style bridge perfectly!
