The Details
The Fender Custom Shop ’51 Relic Precision Bass takes us back to the wonderfully uncomplicated dawn of the electric bass, when Leo Fender’s revolutionary creation changed the job of the bassist forever.
This Custom Shop interpretation embraces the distinctive character of the earliest Precision Bass design, combining its beautifully simple aesthetic with the wonderfully played-in personality of Fender’s Relic treatment. The Aged Lake Placid Blue finish is particularly splendid, giving this early-style instrument an unusual splash of custom-colour glamour beneath years of simulated honest wear.
The appeal of a ’51-style Precision lies in its directness. It is an instrument built around fundamentals: substantial bass response, woody definition and an authoritative voice that knows precisely where it belongs in a mix. No unnecessary machinery, just strings, timber and that unmistakable Fender DNA.
For the player who loves early Fender design but wants something considerably more distinctive than another sunburst museum piece, this Custom Shop P-Bass is a magnificent proposition. A proper character instrument, ready for another lifetime of bass lines.
