The Postmodern line pairs vintage looks with modern playability, and this Precision Bass adds a Jazz Bass pickup to the mix. A Custom Shop Hand-Wound '57 Split Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup sits in the usual P spot, with a Custom Shop Hand-Wound '75 Single-Coil Jazz Bass at the bridge, so the round P sound has a Jazz Bass voice alongside it.
The body is two-piece select ash with an offset seam under a DLX Closet Classic nitro finish, the light aging of a bass that spent most of its life in the case. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck has a 1960 P Bass Oval "C" carve and a 9.5" to 12" compound radius, rounder near the nut and flatter higher up. Jescar Vintage frets, a bone nut and an RSD Designed HiMass bridge round it out.
It comes in Aged Blue Ice Metallic with a quartersawn maple board or Ebony Transparent with flat-laminated rosewood. For a straight vintage P, look at the 1955 Precision Bass DLX Closet Classic or the 1960 Precision Bass DLX Closet Classic.
The photos show one example. Wood grain and aging vary from bass to bass, so the one built for you will differ in the details.
