Looking like it just stepped out of a DeLorean time machine, the limited-edition '51 Telecaster PJ Bass updates a classic design with thunderous modern tone and enhanced feel. The authentic style extends from the distinctive single-ply black pickguard to the dual-concentric volume knobs and vintage spaghetti logo on the headstock-original-era touches brought into the present. It's punchy, growling, seismic and like nothing you've heard or seen before. Two Custom Shop pickups give this bass its rumbling power-a '60s Jazz Bass single coil bridge pickup and '60s P Bass split-coil middle pickup bring the thunder, shaped by chrome-dome dual-concentric volume controls and a master tone control.
The 34"-scale Telecaster bass maple neck has an American Vintage " '63 P Bass"-shaped profile, along with a modern 9.5"-radius fingerboard for enhanced playing feel, topped with narrow-tall frets black dot position markers. The HiMass Vintage bridge uses vintage-style nickel-plated brass saddles for enhanced Fender tone. A powerful addition to any bassist's stable, the '51 Telecaster PJ Bass comes to you straight from the heart of rock 'n' roll. Includes a hard-shell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
