Exactly 70 years after its groundbreaking (and ground shaking) predecessor, the instrument is loaded with looks, sound and vibe that expertly evoke the Precision Bass in one of its earliest incarnations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis special treatment imparts the look of a bass that has changed hands or been handed down over the years, mostly played around the house and the occasional jam session or weekend gig. This generally well-cared-for look includes light finish checking, several “friendly” down-to-the-wood nicks and dings, some dulling of the hardware, and general moderate playing wear. The look of a very lucky find, in short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one-piece quartersawn maple neck has a ’51-style P Bass “U” profile and is thicker at the body end, with a slight taper toward the nut for feel that’s big and round but not cumbersome; topped by a 7.25”-radius maple fingerboard with 20 medium vintage (47095) frets and a bone nut. Beneath the early-’50s-era chrome cover sits a Custom Shop hand-wound Vintage Precision Bass pickup with vintage wiring for full and warm low-end power and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCelebrating 70 years of this amazing instrument\u003cbr\u003eStunning classic look and tasteful relic job\u003cbr\u003eClassic P-Bass tones\u003cbr\u003eComes with a hard-shell case and certificate of authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel Name: 1953 Precision Bass® Journeyman, Maple Neck, Aged Butterscotch Blonde\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Time Machine\u003cbr\u003eColor: Aged Butterscotch Blonde\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Precision Bass\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Slab Body with No Contours\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Journeyman Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: 1-Piece Quartersawn Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape 1951 “U”\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 34″ (86.36 cm)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25″ (184.1 mm)\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 20\u003cbr\u003eFret Size: Medium Vintage (47095)\u003cbr\u003eString Nut: Bone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1.70″ (43.2 mm)\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock: Telecaster\u003cbr\u003eNeck Plate:  4-Bolt with Custom Shop “V” Logo\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Flash Coat Lacquer with Dark Tint\u003cbr\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Micarta, 0.25″ (6.35 mm)\u003cbr\u003eControls: Volume, Tone\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pick Up: None\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Pick Up: None\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pick Up: Hand Wound 55 P Bass Relic\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Vintage-Style\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Right-Handed\u003cbr\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: 51 P Bass 1-Ply Black Phenolic Relic\u003cbr\u003eControl Knobs: Knurled Chrome\u003cbr\u003eIncluded Accessories Deluxe Hardshell Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53028792238389,"sku":"717669915995","price":6649.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/5384\/5301\/files\/9236081234.4_4efa8668-2ddb-41f1-8066-7fba979173f4.png?v=1783940138","url":"https:\/\/musiquediplomate.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1953-precision-bass-journeyman-maple-neck-aged-butterscotch-blonde","provider":"Centre de Musique Diplomate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
