The Vintage Custom 1951 Precision Bass recreates that first year: a slab two-piece select ash body in Nocaster Blonde flash coat lacquer, a quartersawn maple neck with a maple fingerboard, and a single '55 P-Bass pickup with master volume and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1951 \"U\" carve is a full, rounded neck, the nut is 1.70\" wide, and the 7.25\" radius feels round under the fretting hand. The 2-saddle bridge has fiber saddles, as on the early basses, and the pickguard is single-ply black. The finish is unaged, with the grain showing through the thin lacquer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an aged early P Bass, look at the 1954 Precision Bass Journeyman Relic. The Vintage Custom '57 P Bass moves to the split pickup design that came later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in Nocaster Blonde with a maple fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photos show one example. Wood grain and aging vary from bass to bass, so the one built for you will differ in the details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: 2-Piece Select Ash\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Precision Bass\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: 1-Ply Black\u003cbr\u003eAging: NOS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Quartersawn Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: 1951 \"U\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003cbr\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Dot\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 20\u003cbr\u003eFret Size: Vintage-Style\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Vintage-Style Heel Adjust\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1.70\" (43.2 mm)\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 34\" (864 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: '55 P-Bass\u003cbr\u003ePickup Configuration: S\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003cbr\u003eSwitching: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge: 2-Saddle Vintage Precision Bass with Fiber Saddles\u003cbr\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Vintage-Style\u003cbr\u003eControl Knobs: Knurled Flat-Top\u003cbr\u003eStrap Buttons: Vintage-Style\u003cbr\u003eStrings: Fender USA 7250M Nickel Plated Steel (.045-.105 Gauges), PN 0737250406\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCASE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase: Deluxe Hardshell\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Nocaster Blonde","offer_id":47766493790292,"sku":"9235000565","price":7550.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/9235000565_gtr_frt_001_rr_sq.jpg?v=1791262596","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-vintage-custom-1951-precision-bass","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
