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.
