Up for sale, a 2022 Fender Traditional Original ‘50s Precision Bass in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original gigbag and paperwork. A “Made in Japan” model produced exclusively for Japan and select international markets, this Precision Bass faithfully captures the look and tone of the original 1951 model, with a solitary Vintage-Style single coil pickup, slab body, and two-saddle string-through body bridge.

This bass offers a resonance and thump which cuts through with a different tonal color and more presence than later split coil Precision Bass pickups, and the treble detail is accentuated by a fresh set of 45-95 roundwound strings. This Traditional Original ‘50s P Bass weighs 7lbs 11oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with easy-playing action and accurate intonation.
