Fresh in from the Fender Custom Shop is this jaw-droppingly cool 1953 Precision Bass. Boasting a Heavy Relic Aged Butterscotch Blonde finish, this instrument looks like a genuine '50s Fender that's seen plenty of stage time. But that's not all this beast has in store; it's a tried-and-true thump machine, courtesy of its hand-wound '55 Precision Bass pickup. Just plug it into a vintage tube amp, crank the volume, and it'll shake the foundations with its earth-shattering low-end and midrange growl. Think you're ready to wield that level of power? Read on for more details about this masterfully crafted Fender bass!
The Custom Shop 1953 Precision Bass starts with a 2-piece ash body, laying the groundwork for its bold sound. You'll hear deep lows and articulate highs with every note you pluck, a powerful tonal combination. Bassists will also love riffing on this instrument's quartersawn maple neck, courtesy of its comfy '51 P-Bass "U" profile. The neck has a decidedly vintage feel, and it's sure to inspire players to perform classic rock tunes, old-school soul, and Jamerson-style bass lines.
Sonically, the Custom Shop 1953 Precision Bass delivers that classic P-bass growl Fender fans know and love. Crank the tone, and it'll roar to life with a throaty midrange. Roll the tone knob back to darken things up, and you'll have all the warmth and roundness you could ever need.
The Fender Custom Shop 1953 Precision Bass is a battle-worn masterpiece that's begging for action. Its chrome pickup and bridge covers give it that '50s hot-rodded style, while the heavy relic finish makes it look like it's been gigged non-stop for 70 years. Meanwhile, the tug bar is the cherry on top for its vintage-inspired aesthetic. And, of course, it has those classic '50s Precision Bass appointments, complete with the Telecaster-style headstock and control cover.
Once you pick up the Fender Custom Shop 1953 Precision Bass, you'll never want to put it down. It packs in all the charm of a '50s original but without the vintage markup. Please contact us for an in-hand description of this remarkable Fender Custom Shop Bass!
