Up for sale, a 2008 Fender Precision Bass ‘51 vintage reissue model OPB51-SD in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Crafted in Japan” bass reflects the feature set of the original Precision Bass iteration, loaded with a USA-made Seymour Duncan SCPB-1 Bass Lines single coil pickup.

Tonewoods include a slab (uncontoured) ash body and a one-piece maple neck, and this OPB1-SD weighs 8lbs 11oz. The Seymour Duncan SCPB-1 single coil matches vintage spec with black bobbin construction and alnico magnet poles, delivering a strong fundamental punch with a resonance and thump that cuts through with a different tonal color than later split coil P Bass pickups. The ash string-through body ensures the bass delivers both exquisite sustain and a complex midrange character. This '51 Precision Bass OPB51-SD has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
