Fender Custom Shop 1951 Precision Bass Heavy Relic – Aged Vintage White – CHUCKSCLUSIVE – #XN3724

Profound Style – The Fender Custom Shop 1951 Precision Bass Heavy Relic – Aged Vintage White – CHUCKSCLUSIVE

The debut of the Precision Bass in 1951 is arguably one of the most profound milestones of the 20th Century. The P Bass® gave bass players a means to be heard clearly while eliminating the need to lug around a heavy (and fragile) upright bass. It also profoundly changed the sound of popular music and gave birth to a slew of new musical styles.

The Vintage Custom 1951 Precision Bass offers the appointments that made the original the undisputed champion of working bassists the world over, including a supremely fast and comfortable tinted quartersawn maple neck with a 7.25″ fingerboard radius, ’51-‘55 P Bass bridge with vintage fiber bridge saddles and flatwound strings. It also boasts an original slab-style P Bass body with a NOS flash-coat lacquer finish that lets the instrument breathe more organically and shows some of the natural grain through the finish.

Other features of the Vintage Custom 1951 Precision Bass include Closet Classic hardware, a 2-piece ash body, 20 vintage frets, ’55 P Bass pickup, volume and tone controls, single-ply black pickguard, bone nut, round string retainer and vintage-style tuning machines. A living legend, this Precision Bass sounds just as good now as the original did back in 1951, and includes a deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.

Our 65th Anniversary

Chuck Levin’s was founded in 1958. A small music shop in the middle of DC, we saw our early successes while the original versions of these wonderful instruments were just leaving the Fender factory for the first time! Like the Fender Stratocaster, Chuck Levin’s has also endured and thrived over the decades, achieving our own legendary status among musicians. To celebrate our 65th Anniversary and shared history, Chuck Levin’s has partnered with Fender’s Custom Shop to bring you this fresh collection of amazing instruments.
